Then to find the decimal part of the first positive root, we arrange the co-efficients, and perform a succession of trans formations .by Synthetical Division, which must begin with the initial figures already known. We first transform the given equation into another whose roots shall be less by 1. The co-efficients of this new equation are, 1, 3, —4 and 1, and are all, except the first, marked by a star. The root of...
