  2. Quartic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_equation

    We therefore can solve the quartic by solving for w and then solving for the roots of the two factors using the quadratic formula. ... Calculator for solving Quartics ...

  3. Quartic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_function

    Each coordinate of the intersection points of two conic sections is a solution of a quartic equation. The same is true for the intersection of a line and a torus.It follows that quartic equations often arise in computational geometry and all related fields such as computer graphics, computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing and optics.

  4. Resolvent cubic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolvent_cubic

    Suppose that P(x) is a depressed quartic—that is, that a 3 = 0.A possible definition of the resolvent cubic of P(x) is: [1] = + + ().The origin of this definition lies in applying Ferrari's method to find the roots of P(x).

  5. Quintic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintic_function

    Solving these two quintics yields r = 1.501 × 10 9 m for L 2 and r = 1.491 × 10 9 m for L 1. The Sun–Earth Lagrangian points L 2 and L 1 are usually given as 1.5 million km from Earth. If the mass of the smaller object ( M E ) is much smaller than the mass of the larger object ( M S ), then the quintic equation can be greatly reduced and L ...

  6. Quartic plane curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_plane_curve

    The cruciform curve, or cross curve is a quartic plane curve given by the equation = where a and b are two parameters determining the shape of the curve. The cruciform curve is related by a standard quadratic transformation, x ↦ 1/x, y ↦ 1/y to the ellipse a 2 x 2 + b 2 y 2 = 1, and is therefore a rational plane algebraic curve of genus zero.

  7. Solution in radicals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_in_radicals

    A solution in radicals or algebraic solution is an expression of a solution of a polynomial equation that is algebraic, that is, relies only on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, raising to integer powers, and extraction of n th roots (square roots, cube roots, etc.).

  8. Quartic surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_surface

    In mathematics, especially in algebraic geometry, a quartic surface is a surface defined by an equation of degree 4.. More specifically there are two closely related types of quartic surface: affine and projective.

  9. Galois theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois_theory

    Galois theory has been used to solve classic problems including showing that two problems of antiquity cannot be solved as they were stated (doubling the cube and trisecting the angle), and characterizing the regular polygons that are constructible (this characterization was previously given by Gauss but without the proof that the list of ...
