be the general quartic equation we want to solve. Dividing by a 4, provides the equivalent equation x 4 + bx 3 + cx 2 + dx + e = 0, with b = a 3 / a 4 , c = a 2 / a 4 , d = a 1 / a 4 , and e = a 0 / a 4 . Substituting y − b / 4 for x gives, after regrouping the terms, the equation y 4 + py 2 + qy + r = 0, where

Jade Mirror of the Four Unknowns, [1] Siyuan yujian (simplified Chinese: 四元玉鉴; traditional Chinese: 四元玉鑒), also referred to as Jade Mirror of the Four Origins, [2] is a 1303 mathematical monograph by Yuan dynasty mathematician Zhu Shijie.

When an equation contains several unknowns, and when one has several equations with more unknowns than equations, the solution set is often infinite. In this case, the solutions cannot be listed. For representing them, a parametrization is often useful, which consists of expressing the solutions in terms of some of the unknowns or auxiliary ...
A similar but more complicated method works for cubic equations, which have three resolvents and a quadratic equation (the "resolving polynomial") relating and , which one can solve by the quadratic equation, and similarly for a quartic equation (degree 4), whose resolving polynomial is a cubic, which can in turn be solved.

Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011.
[4] [5] [6] Cramer's rule, implemented in a naive way, is computationally inefficient for systems of more than two or three equations. [7] In the case of n equations in n unknowns, it requires computation of n + 1 determinants, while Gaussian elimination produces the result with the same computational complexity as the computation of a single ...
Each unknown can be seen as an available degree of freedom. Each equation introduced into the system can be viewed as a constraint that restricts one degree of freedom. Therefore, the critical case (between overdetermined and underdetermined) occurs when the number of equations and the number of free variables are equal.
For a system of linear equations, the number of equations in an indeterminate system could be the same as the number of unknowns, less than the number of unknowns (an underdetermined system), or greater than the number of unknowns (an overdetermined system). Conversely, any of those three cases may or may not be indeterminate.
