We solve polynomials algebraically in order to determine the roots - where a curve cuts the \(x\)-axis. A root of a polynomial function, \(f(x)\), is a value for \(x\) for which \(f(x) = 0\).

The purpose of all of the developmental mathematics courses is to support student success academically and beyond by advancing critical thinking and reasoning skills. Specifically in Algebra II, as a ...

Everyone learns (and some readers maybe still remember) the quadratic formula. It’s a pillar of algebra and allows you to solve equations like Ax 2 +Bx+C=0. But just because you’ve used it doesn’t ...

Three researchers from Bristol University are seeking to develop methods for analysing the distribution of integer solutions to polynomial equations. How do you know when a polynomial equation has ...

The deterministic factorization algorithm for polynomials over finite fields that was recently introduced by the author is based on a new type of linearization of the factorization problem. The main ...

Polynomial equations have long served as a cornerstone of mathematical analysis, offering a framework to understand functions, curves, and dynamic systems. In recent years, the study of these ...

Roots can occur in a parabola in 3 different ways as shown in the diagram below: In diagram A, we can see that this parabola has 2 roots, diagram B has 1 root and diagram C has no roots. What type of ...

Mathematics of Computation, Vol. 33, No. 148 (Oct., 1979), pp. 1251-1256 (6 pages) A polynomial representation of the hybrid methods for solving ordinary differential equations is presented. The ...
