The polyder
function returns the polynomial coefficients resulting from differentiation of polynomial p
. The syntax for its use is either
pder = polyder(p)
for the derivitave of polynomial p, or
convp1p2der = polyder(p1,p2)
for the derivitave of polynomial conv(p1,p2), or still
[nder,dder] = polyder(n,d)
for the derivative of polynomial n/d
(nder
is the numerator and dder
is the denominator). In all cases the polynomial coefficients are assumed to be in decreasing degree. Contributed by Paulo Xavier Candeias under GPL
Here are some examples of the use of polyder
--> polyder([2,3,4]) ans = 4 3
--> polyder([2,3,4],7) ans = 28 21
--> [n,d] = polyder([2,3,4],5) n = -20 -15 d = 25
