First sentence: 1. EVERY equation under a rational form involving the powers of only one unknown quantity x, may, by dividing its two members by the coefficient of the highest power of x, and transposing the terms, be reduced to the form xn+p1xn-1+p2xn-2+ ... +pn-1x+pn=0; where xn, the highest power of x, is positive, and its coefficient is unity; and p1, p2, ... pn, the coefficients of the other powers of x, are known quantities which may be positive, or negative, or zero.
