Repeated roots edit
Somebody check my edit in the repeated real roots section that the degree of u(x) is k-1 instead of k. Hate changing someone's equation; so easy to goof.

It's been a while but i'm pretty sure it's suppose to say k. Since it's a polynomial of k terms and the alternate solutions, after the one with the repeated roots, are k-1. Gonna revert, if it's wrong feel free to revert. DrinkV0dka (talk) 06:44, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
