  2. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    The discriminant Δ of the cubic is the square of = () (), where a is the leading coefficient of the cubic, and r 1, r 2 and r 3 are the three roots of the cubic. As Δ {\displaystyle {\sqrt {\Delta }}} changes of sign if two roots are exchanged, Δ {\displaystyle {\sqrt {\Delta }}} is fixed by the Galois group only if the Galois group is A 3 .

  3. Cubic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_function

    In mathematics, a cubic function is a function of the form () = + + +, that is, a polynomial function of degree three. In many texts, the coefficients a , b , c , and d are supposed to be real numbers , and the function is considered as a real function that maps real numbers to real numbers or as a complex function that maps complex numbers to ...

  4. Cubic form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_form

    In mathematics, a cubic form is a homogeneous polynomial of degree 3, and a cubic hypersurface is the zero set of a cubic form. In the case of a cubic form in three variables, the zero set is a cubic plane curve. In (Delone & Faddeev 1964), Boris Delone and Dmitry Faddeev showed that binary cubic forms with integer coefficients can be used to ...

  5. Polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynomial

    Polynomials of degree one, two or three are respectively linear polynomials, quadratic polynomials and cubic polynomials. [8] For higher degrees, the specific names are not commonly used, although quartic polynomial (for degree four) and quintic polynomial (for degree five) are sometimes used. The names for the degrees may be applied to the ...

  6. Cayley–Bacharach theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayley–Bacharach_theorem

    In mathematics, the Cayley–Bacharach theorem is a statement about cubic curves (plane curves of degree three) in the projective plane P 2. The original form states: Assume that two cubics C 1 and C 2 in the projective plane meet in nine (different) points, as they do in general over an algebraically closed field. Then every cubic that passes ...

  7. Resolvent cubic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolvent_cubic

    The resolvent cubic of an irreducible quartic polynomial P(x) can be used to determine its Galois group G; that is, the Galois group of the splitting field of P(x). Let m be the degree over k of the splitting field of the resolvent cubic (it can be either R 4 (y) or R 5 (y); they have the same splitting field).

  8. Cocoa was the top-performing commodity of 2024. The price of the bean surged as headwinds battered key producers. Prices are likely to stay high into 2025, analysts at ING said.

  9. Cubic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_field

    If, on the other hand, f has a non-real root, then K is called a complex cubic field. A cubic field K is called a cyclic cubic field if it contains all three roots of its generating polynomial f. Equivalently, K is a cyclic cubic field if it is a Galois extension of Q, in which case its Galois group over Q is cyclic of order three.
