Owning Palette: Mathematics VIs

Use the Polynomial VIs to perform calculations and evaluations with polynomials.

The VIs on this palette can return mathematics error codes.

Palette Object	Description
Add Polynomials	Adds two polynomials P(x) and Q(x). The data types you wire to the P(x) and Q(x) inputs determine the polymorphic instance to use.
Create Polynomial From PFE	Uses partial fraction expansion to reconstruct a rational polynomial.
Create Polynomial From Roots	Creates polynomial P(x) from its roots. The data type you wire to the Roots input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
Divide Polynomials	Divides polynomial P(x) by polynomial Q(x). The data types you wire to the P(x) and Q(x) inputs determine the polymorphic instance to use.
Evaluate Polynomial with Matrix	Evaluates the polynomial P(x) with matrix A. The data types you wire to the P(x) and A inputs determine the polymorphic instance to use.
GCD of P(x) and Q(x)	Computes the greatest common divisor for two polynomials P(x) and Q(x) with the tolerance you specify. The data types you wire to the P(x) and Q(x) inputs determine the polymorphic instance to use.

nth Derivative of Polynomial	Calculates the nth order derivative of P(x). The data type you wire to the P(x) input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
Order of Polynomial	Finds the order, or polynomial degree, of polynomial P(x). The data type you wire to the P(x) input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
Partial Fraction Expansion	Calculates the partial fraction expansion of a polynomial using the Heaviside cover-up method.
Polynomial Eigenvalues and Vectors	Solves the polynomial eigenvalue problem. The data type you wire to the Input Matrices input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
Polynomial Evaluation	Evaluates the polynomial P(x) with a single value or multiple values. The data types you wire to the a and P(x) inputs determine the polymorphic instance to use.
Polynomial Plot	Plots the evaluations of polynomial P(x). The data type you wire to the X input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
Polynomial Real Zeros Counter	Calculates the number of zeros of the real polynomial P(x) in a real interval defined by start and end without determining the values of the zeros.

Roots Classification	Classifies Roots into real, complex conjugate pair, and pure complex roots.
Sort Complex Numbers	Sorts an array of complex numbers in ascending or descending order with respect to real and imaginary parts or magnitude.
Subtract Polynomials	Subtracts polynomial Q(x) from polynomial P(x). The data types you wire to the P(x) and Q(x) inputs determine the polymorphic instance to use.
Unique Numbers and Multiplicity	Obtains all the unique numbers from the input array and determines the multiplicity of each unique number. The data type you wire to the Numbers input determines the polymorphic instance to use.
