Types of polynomial functions. Quadratic, cubic, quartic, quintic,
I 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.
Is there a formula for the roots of a Quintic Equation?
Feb 2, 2016 · $ (1)$ From Galois theory it is known there is no formula to solve a general quintic equation. But it is known a general quintic can be solved for the 5 roots exactly. Back in 1858 …
