  2. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    A cubic equation with real coefficients can be solved geometrically using compass, straightedge, and an angle trisector if and only if it has three real roots. [30]: Thm. 1 A cubic equation can be solved by compass-and-straightedge construction (without trisector) if and only if it has a rational root.

  3. Cubic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_function

    The derivative of a cubic function is a quadratic function. A cubic function with real coefficients has either one or three real roots (which may not be distinct); [1] all odd-degree polynomials with real coefficients have at least one real root. The graph of a cubic function always has a single inflection point.

  4. Cube root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_root

    Cubic equations, which are polynomial equations of the third degree (meaning the highest power of the unknown is 3) can always be solved for their three solutions in terms of cube roots and square roots (although simpler expressions only in terms of square roots exist for all three solutions, if at least one of them is a rational number).

  5. Cubic equations of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equations_of_state

    This equation may have up to three roots. The maximal root of the cubic equation generally corresponds to a vapor state, while the minimal root is for a liquid state. This should be kept in mind when using cubic equations in calculations, e.g., of vapor-liquid equilibrium.

  6. Geometrical properties of polynomial roots - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_properties_of...

    The complex conjugate root theorem states that if the coefficients of a polynomial are real, then the non-real roots appear in pairs of the form (a + ib, a – ib).. It follows that the roots of a polynomial with real coefficients are mirror-symmetric with respect to the real axis.

  7. Discriminant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discriminant

    If the coefficients are real numbers, and the discriminant is not zero, the discriminant is positive if the roots are three distinct real numbers, and negative if there is one real root and two complex conjugate roots. [9] The square root of a quantity strongly related to the discriminant appears in the formulas for the roots of a cubic polynomial.

  9. Root of unity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_of_unity

    The n th roots of unity form under multiplication a cyclic group of order n, and in fact these groups comprise all of the finite subgroups of the multiplicative group of the complex number field. A generator for this cyclic group is a primitive n th root of unity. The n th roots of unity form an irreducible representation of any cyclic group of ...
