  2. Cubic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equation

    Denoting the complex roots of the cubic as g ± hi, g = OM (negative here) and h = √ tan ORH = √ slope of line RH = BE = DA. When the graph of a cubic function is plotted in the Cartesian plane, if there is only one real root, it is the abscissa (x-coordinate) of the horizontal

  3. Cubic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_function

    The derivative of a cubic function is a quadratic function. A cubic function with real coefficients has either one or three real roots (which may not be distinct); [1] all odd-degree polynomials with real coefficients have at least one real root. The graph of a cubic function always has a single inflection point.

  4. Cube root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_root

    The cube root is a multivalued function. The principal cube root is its principal value, that is a unique cube root that has been chosen once for all. The principal cube root is the cube root with the largest real part. In the case of negative real numbers, the largest real part is shared by the two nonreal cube roots, and the principal cube ...

  5. 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

  6. Resolvent (Galois theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolvent_(Galois_theory)

    In the case of a cubic equation, this resolvent is sometimes called the quadratic resolvent; its roots appear explicitly in the formulas for the roots of a cubic equation. The cubic resolvent of a quartic equation, which is a resolvent for the dihedral group of 8 elements.

  7. nth root - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nth_root

    A root of degree 2 is called a square root and a root of degree 3, a cube root. Roots of higher degree are referred by using ordinal numbers, as in fourth root, twentieth root, etc. The computation of an n th root is a root extraction. For example, 3 is a square root of 9, since 3 2 = 9, and −3 is also a square root of 9, since (−3) 2 = 9.

  8. Resolvent cubic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolvent_cubic

    The polynomial P(x) has a rational root (this can be determined using the rational root theorem). The resolvent cubic R 3 (y) has a root of the form α 2, for some non-null rational number α (again, this can be determined using the rational root theorem). The number a 2 2 − 4a 0 is the square of a rational number and a 1 = 0. Indeed:

  9. Quartic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_equation

    In mathematics, a quartic equation is one which can be expressed as a quartic function equaling zero. The general form of a quartic equation is Graph of a polynomial function of degree 4, with its 4 roots and 3 critical points. + + + + = where a ≠ 0.
