Abstract:
Let $f$ and $g$ be polynomials with coefficients in a commutative ring $A$. Let $f$ be monic. We show that the resultant of $f$ and $g$ equals the norm from $A[x]{\text {/(}}f{\text {)}}$ to $A$ of $g$. As a corollary we deduce that if $c$ is in $A$ and also in the ideal generated by $f$ and $g$, then the resultant divides ${c^n}$, where $n$ is the degree of $f$.References
