Polynomial equations involve a variable being raised to powers, such as the degree two polynomial: 1+ 4x - 3x 2 = 0. Until now, a method for solving "higher order" polynomial equations, where x is ...

Researchers have found a new way to solve high-degree polynomial equations, previously thought impossible for 200 years. This math breakthrough reopens algebra.

For centuries, one of algebra’s oldest puzzles has remained unsolved—how to find exact answers for higher-degree polynomials, where the variable is raised to the fifth power or more ...
