2. 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.). A well-known example is the quadratic formula

3. Nested radical - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_radical

   In the case of two nested square roots, the following theorem completely solves the problem of denesting. [2]If a and c are rational numbers and c is not the square of a rational number, there are two rational numbers x and y such that + = if and only if is the square of a rational number d.

4. Rationalisation (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rationalisation_(mathematics)

   In elementary algebra, root rationalisation (or rationalization) is a process by which radicals in the denominator of an algebraic fraction are eliminated.. If the denominator is a monomial in some radical, say , with k < n, rationalisation consists of multiplying the numerator and the denominator by , and replacing by x (this is allowed, as, by definition, a n th root of x is a number that ...

5. Rational root theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rational_root_theorem

   It gives a finite number of possible fractions which can be checked to see if they are roots. If a rational root x = r is found, a linear polynomial ( x – r ) can be factored out of the polynomial using polynomial long division , resulting in a polynomial of lower degree whose roots are also roots of the original polynomial.

6. Equation solving - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

   An example of using Newton–Raphson method to solve numerically the equation f(x) = 0. In mathematics, to solve an equation is to find its solutions, which are the values (numbers, functions, sets, etc.) that fulfill the condition stated by the equation, consisting generally of two expressions related by an equals sign.

7. Quintic function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintic_function

   Finding the roots (zeros) of a given polynomial has been a prominent mathematical problem.. Solving linear, quadratic, cubic and quartic equations in terms of radicals and elementary arithmetic operations on the coefficients can always be done, no matter whether the roots are rational or irrational, real or complex; there are formulas that yield the required solutions.
