Hi, Jason. (Your name's Jason, right? =P) The basic idea is to choose the coefficients of the two polynomials so they cross the axis n−1 times. Then since they're polynomials of degree n, you're done, by the Fundamental Theorem. —Keenan Pepper 02:06, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heh. It is indeed. Thanks a lot - I'll work on it tomorrow. J. LaRue 02:27, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
