Algebraic element Roots of a minimal polynomial Let π΄ be a K-monoid over π and π βπ΄ be an algebraic element with minimal polynomial ππ(π₯) βπ[π₯]. Then π βπ is a root of ππ(π₯) iff π βπ1 is not invertible in π΄.1 falg Proof proof develop | en | SemBr Footnotes 2008. Advanced Linear Algebra, Β§18, p. 461 β©
