If a complex number z = a + bi is a root of y1 then z̄ = a − bi is also a root of this function. Applications to Quartic
Therefore, a cubic function may only have two complex zeroes and one real root t ∈IR.
The shadow function in this case is another cubic function y2 which intersects with y1 at two First column Second column Third column Fourth
points, has opposite concavity and its zeros are t and x1,2 = a±b as <figure 2>. Foo 13.37 384,394 α

y2 intersects the x-axes at point (t, 0)
y2 intersects y1 at point (t, 0) and they touch at point (a, cb2(a − t)) Table 1. A table caption.
The ”shadow function” ym in this case can be expressed as:
y1 + y2
ym =
2
References
It can be shown that ym touches both y1 and y2
