Determination of the masses and widths of resonances and of the parameters of the background is studied. The matrix parametrizations (M and K matrices and the N/D method) are compared with the parametrization in terms of the sum of an inelastic resonant term and a background amplitude. It is shown that in the matrix parametrizations the inelastic background is determined unambiguously and cannot be inserted by hand. The formalism is applied to the analysis of p-wave ..pi pi.. scattering. The question of the existence of the rho'(1520) meson is discussed. It is shown that the inclusion of the background leads to a good description of the ..pi pi.. scattering data with GAMMA/sub rhoprimepipi//GAMMA0..omega..roughly-equal0.15. The amplitudes obtained are used for the analysis of the pion form factor and of the form factor for the transition ..gamma --> pi../sup 0/..omega...
