In mathematics, the resultant of two polynomials is a polynomial expression of their coefficients that is equal to zero if and only if the polynomials have a common root (possibly in a field extension), or, equivalently, a common factor (possibly in a field extension as well). In some older texts, the resultant is also called the eliminant.
