Definitions
Resultant
In mathematics, the resultant of two polynomials is a polynomial expression of their coefficients, which is equal to zero if and only if the polynomials have a common root (possibly in a field extension), or, equivalently, a common factor (over their field of coefficients). In some older texts, the resultant is also called the eliminant.The resultant is widely used in number theory, either directly or through the discriminant, which is essentially the resultant of a polynomial and its derivative.
Subsequent
Following in time or order; succeeding.
Resultant
Issuing or following as a consequence or result.
Subsequent
Following in time; coming or being after something else at any time, indefinitely.
