Abstract

Let ƒ and g be polynomials with coefficients in a commutative ring A. Let ƒ be monic. We show that the resultant of/and g equals the norm from A[x] ƒ (ƒ) to A of g. As a corollary we deduce that if c is in A and also in the ideal generated by ƒ and g, then the resultant divides cn, where n is the degree of ƒ.
