75. For two qualities of the same odd order, when the quantics are put equal to
each other, the lineo-linear invariant vanishes; but for two quantics of the same even
order, when these are put equal to each other, we obtain the quadrinvariant of the single
quantic. Thus the quadrinvariant of the quadric (a, b, effx, yf is
ac—b 2 ;
and in like manner the quadrinvariant of the quartic {a, b, c, d, e§x, yf is
ae — 4 bd + 3c 2 .
76. When the two quantics are the first derived functions of the same quantic
of any odd order, the lineo-linear invariant does not vanish, but it is not an invariant
of the single quantic. Thus the lineo-linear invariant of
and
is
(a, b, c$cc, y) 2
(b, c, d$x, y) 2
(ad — 2 be + cb=)ad — be,
which is not an invariant of the cubic
(a, b, c, d\x, y) 3 .
But for two quantics which are the first derived functions of the same quantic of
any even order, the lineo-linear invariant is the quadrinvariant of the single quantic.
Thus the lineo-linear invariant of
and
is
(a, b, c, d'fyoc, y) 3
(b, c, d, e\x, yf
(ae - Sbd + 3c 2 — db =) ae — 4<bd + 3c 2 ,
which is the quadrinvariant of the quartic
(a, b, c, d, e\x, yf.
