  2. Abel–Ruffini theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel–Ruffini_theorem

    Abel–Ruffini theorem refers also to the slightly stronger result that there are equations of degree five and higher that cannot be solved by radicals. This does not follow from Abel's statement of the theorem, but is a corollary of his proof, as his proof is based on the fact that some polynomials in the coefficients of the equation are not ...

  3. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    Quadratic formula. The roots of the quadratic function y = ⁠ 1 2 ⁠x2 − 3x + ⁠ 5 2 ⁠ are the places where the graph intersects the x -axis, the values x = 1 and x = 5. They can be found via the quadratic formula. In elementary algebra, the quadratic formula is a closed-form expression describing the solutions of a quadratic equation.

    where a = ⁠ 5(4ν + 3) / ν 2 + 1 ⁠. Using the negative case of the square root yields, after scaling variables, the first parametrization while the positive case gives the second. The substitution c = ⁠ −m / l 5 ⁠, e = ⁠ 1 / l ⁠ in the Spearman-Williams parameterization allows one to not exclude the special case a = 0, giving the ...
