Hello,

I hope my question is not to general. I have a polynomial of 8th order

expression:=a8(z) * x^8 + .... + a1(z) * x + a0(z) = 0

on which I am using solve/RootOf

sol:=[solve(expression,x)]

Now when I plot it against z the solution has a jump, why?

When deriving the polynomial I could as well have used another variable instead of x above, say y. These two are related by a function...Then when I write down the 8th order polynomial in y and use RootOf/solve, then no jump occurs.

Is there a way to handle this because left of the jump the solution is not correct while right of it, it is...
