  2. Quartic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_function

    Graph of a polynomial of degree 4, with 3 critical points and four real roots (crossings of the x axis) (and thus no complex roots). If one or the other of the local minima were above the x axis, or if the local maximum were below it, or if there were no local maximum and one minimum below the x axis, there would only be two real roots (and two complex roots).

  3. Quartic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_equation

    Graph of a polynomial function of degree 4, with its 4 roots and 3 critical points. + + + + = where a ≠ 0. The quartic is the highest order polynomial equation that can be solved by radicals in the general case (i.e., one in which the coefficients can take any value).

  4. Degree of a polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_a_polynomial

    For polynomials in two or more variables, the degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables in the term; the degree (sometimes called the total degree) of the polynomial is again the maximum of the degrees of all terms in the polynomial. For example, the polynomial x 2 y 2 + 3x 3 + 4y has degree 4, the same degree as the term x ...

  5. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    Polynomials of degree one, two or three are respectively linear polynomials, quadratic polynomials and cubic polynomials. [8] For higher degrees, the specific names are not commonly used, although quartic polynomial (for degree four) and quintic polynomial (for degree five) are sometimes used. The names for the degrees may be applied to the ...

  6. Resolvent cubic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolvent_cubic

    Graph of the polynomial function x 4 + x 3 – x 2 – 7x/4 – 1/2 (in green) together with the graph of its resolvent cubic R 4 (y) (in red). The roots of both polynomials are visible too. In algebra, a resolvent cubic is one of several distinct, although related, cubic polynomials defined from a monic polynomial of degree four:

  7. Neville's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neville's_algorithm

    This process yields p 0,4 (x), the value of the polynomial going through the n + 1 data points (x i, y i) at the point x. This algorithm needs O(n 2) floating point operations to interpolate a single point, and O(n 3) floating point operations to interpolate a polynomial of degree n.

  8. Quartic surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_surface

    where f is a polynomial of degree 4, such as ⁠ (,,) = + + + ⁠. This is a surface in affine space A 3 . On the other hand, a projective quartic surface is a surface in projective space P 3 of the same form, but now f is a homogeneous polynomial of 4 variables of degree 4, so for example ⁠ f ( x , y , z , w ) = x 4 + y 4 + x y z w + z 2 w 2 ...

  9. Primitive polynomial (field theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primitive_polynomial...

    For degree 3, GF(3 3) has φ(3 3 − 1) = φ(26) = 12 primitive elements. As each primitive polynomial of degree 3 has three roots, all necessarily primitive, there are 12 / 3 = 4 primitive polynomials of degree 3. One primitive polynomial is x 3 + 2x + 1. Denoting one of its roots by γ, the algebraically conjugate elements are γ 3 and γ 9.
