Given two univariate polynomials of the same order whose first coefficients (but not
the first
)
are 0 where the coefficients of the second approach
the corresponding coefficients of the first as limits,
the second polynomial will have exactly
roots that increase indefinitely. Furthermore, exactly
roots of the second will approach each root
of multiplicity
of the first as a limit.
