  2. Quartic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_function

    which is 0 if the quartic has two double roots. The possible cases for the nature of the roots are as follows: [12] If ∆ < 0 then the equation has two distinct real roots and two complex conjugate non-real roots. If ∆ > 0 then either the equation's four roots are all real or none is. If P < 0 and D < 0 then all four roots are real and distinct.

    Single Multiplicity-2 (SM2): when the general quartic equation can be expressed as () () =, where , , and are three different real numbers or is a real number and and are a couple of non-real complex conjugate numbers. This case is divided into two subcases, those that can be reduced to a biquadratic equation and those in which this is impossible.

  4. Bitangents of a quartic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitangents_of_a_quartic

    An explicit quartic with twenty-eight real bitangents was first given by Plücker [1] As Plücker showed, the number of real bitangents of any quartic must be 28, 16, or a number less than 9. Another quartic with 28 real bitangents can be formed by the locus of centers of ellipses with fixed axis lengths, tangent to two non-parallel lines. [2]

  5. Quartic interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_interaction

    Besides, Jacobi function has no real zeros and so the field is never zero but moves around a given constant value that is initially chosen describing a spontaneous breaking of symmetry. A proof of uniqueness can be provided if we note that the solution can be sought in the form φ = φ ( ξ ) {\displaystyle \varphi =\varphi (\xi )} being ξ = p ...

  6. Gauss–Lucas theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss–Lucas_theorem

    In that case, the convex hull is the line segment with the two roots as endpoints and it is clear that the average of the roots is the middle point of the segment. For a third degree complex polynomial P ( cubic function ) with three distinct zeros, Marden's theorem states that the zeros of P' are the foci of the Steiner inellipse which is the ...

  7. Quadratic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation

    A quadratic equation has at most two solutions. If there is only one solution, one says that it is a double root. If all the coefficients are real numbers, there are either two real solutions, or a single real double root, or two complex solutions that are complex conjugates of each other. A quadratic equation always has two roots, if complex ...

  8. Quadric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadric

    In mathematics, a quadric or quadric surface (quadric hypersurface in higher dimensions), is a generalization of conic sections (ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas).It is a hypersurface (of dimension D) in a (D + 1)-dimensional space, and it is defined as the zero set of an irreducible polynomial of degree two in D + 1 variables; for example, D = 1 in the case of conic sections.

  9. 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.
