  2. 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.

  3. Nested radical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_radical

    The general solution formula given above gives the solutions = + +. For any given choice of cube root and its conjugate, this contains nested radicals involving complex numbers, yet it is reducible (even though not obviously so) to one of the solutions 1, 2, or –3.

  4. Complex conjugate root theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_conjugate_root_theorem

    In mathematics, the complex conjugate root theorem states that if P is a polynomial in one variable with real coefficients, and a + bi is a root of P with a and b real numbers, then its complex conjugate a − bi is also a root of P. [1]

  5. Polynomial root-finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial_root-finding

    If the given polynomial only has real coefficients, one may wish to avoid computations with complex numbers. To that effect, one has to find quadratic factors for pairs of conjugate complex roots. The application of the multidimensional Newton's method to this task results in Bairstow's method.

  6. Complex conjugate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_conjugate

    In mathematics, the complex conjugate of a complex number is the number with an equal real part and an imaginary part equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. That is, if a {\displaystyle a} and b {\displaystyle b} are real numbers, then the complex conjugate of a + b i {\displaystyle a+bi} is a − b i . {\displaystyle a-bi.}

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

  8. Conjugate (square roots) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_(square_roots)

    In mathematics, the conjugate of an expression of the form + is , provided that does not appear in a and b.One says also that the two expressions are conjugate. In particular, the two solutions of a quadratic equation are conjugate, as per the in the quadratic formula =.

  9. Cube root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_root

    In mathematics, a cube root of a number x is a number y that has the given number as its third power; that is =. The number of cube roots of a number depends on the number system that is considered. Every nonzero real number x has exactly one real cube root that is denoted x 3 {\textstyle {\sqrt[{3}]{x}}} and called the real cube root of x or ...
