For exaqmple, the quadratic equation w^2 + uw + v = 0 corresponds to the deter minant

| -u 1 1 |

| v 0 1 | = 0

|w^2 w w-1|

Is there any way to find a determinant corresponding to an equation, as above?

This is an issue in the preparation of a nomograph for the initial equation.

It is generally solved by trial and error.
