Let Z denote the ring of rational integers. Let L be a field, and let p be its characteristic. Let f(x)=∑nj=0ajxj∈L[x], the polynomial ring over L. Suppose that f(x)=a∏ri=1(x-ηi)ei over some algebraic closure of L, where a∈L, all the ηi are distinct, and r,e1,e2,…,er are positive integers with r≥2 and n=∑rj=1ej. The semidiscriminant Δ(f) of f is defined by Δ(f)=a2n-1∏1≤i,j≤ri≠j(ηi-ηj)ei ej. It is proved that if n<p, then there exist a positive integer m with m|n! and a polynomial G∈Z[x0,x1,…,xn], which depend only on the vector (e1,e2,…,er), such that Δ(f)=1/mG(a0,a1,…,an). This result is applied to investigate a question on intersective polynomials over the ring L[x], where L is a finite field.
