Types of polynomial functions. Quadratic, cubic, quartic, quintic,
WEBI think after quintic it becomes cumbersome to name them (since the prefixes become increasingly more complex). Thus, I feel like "degree seven" or "seventh degree" polynomial is more appropriate. If you are really interested in the prefixes look here under "ordinal".
Is there a formula for the roots of a Quintic Equation?
WEBFeb 2, 2016 · Galois-theory only says that there is no general formula to solve a quintic equation in terms of radicals. That is, there is no formula only using the arithmetic operations "sum, multiplication etc. and taking the n n -th root". For instance for the polynomial x5 − 4x + 2 x 5 − 4 x + 2 it is known that it has a root that is not expressible ...

What does insolvability of the quintic mean exactly?
WEBMar 5, 2012 at 23:14. 1. @Kenny: The unsolvability of the general quintic, as proved by Abel and probably earlier by Ruffini, is the result that there is no general formula for the roots in terms of the coefficients, where by formula one means something built up from the elementary operations of arithmetic, augmented by various n n -th roots.
Applying trigonometry in solving quintic polynomials?
WEBDec 26, 2015 · The answer is Yes, the general quintic can be solved by trigonometric methods. But it is much more complicated than the cubic version and uses special functions like elliptic integrals, etc. If you look at the trigonometric solution of the cubic, it depends on an identity, 4x3 − 3x + b = 0. where x = cos(θ) and b is a parameter.
abstract algebra - Quintic polynomial with Galois Group $A_5 ...
WEB$\begingroup$ @YACP has put the guts of a solution below, except for computing the discriminant - on a good day I can remember the formula for the discriminant of a cubic, but a quintic - well I need to be shown. What I mean by "straightforward" - thinking about it - is something I might be able to remember.
polynomials - Discriminant of Quintic (Galois theory)?
WEBApr 10, 2016 · I need to calculate the discriminant of this to determine its Galois group, background here by Conrad, here by Yuan who explains facts about Galois groups of irreducible quintics and a specific discriminant question here. The general formula for Discriminant by Wikipedia is. =a2n−2n ∏i<j(ri −rj)2 = a n 2 n − 2 ∏ i <j (r i − r j) 2.

Why can't there be a quintic formula? [duplicate]
WEBIt is possible to express the roots of a quintic polynomial with real coefficients in terms of the coefficients, using just the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and the taking of n n -th roots, if and only if the Galois group of the polynomial is solvable. There are quintic polynomials with Galois group S5 S 5 ...
How to determine if a quintic polynomial is solvable by radicals
WEBMar 18, 2015 · The purpose here is to give a criterion for the solvability of such a quintic in terms of the existence of a rational root of an explicit associated resolvent sextic polynomial, and when this is the case, to give formulas for the roots analogous to Cardano’s formulas for the general cubic and quartic polynomials and to determine the precise ...
