Quadratic equations are polynomials, meaning strings of math terms. An expression like “x + 4” is a polynomial. They can have one or many variables in any combination, and the magnitude of them is ...

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 ...

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations.

The quadratic formula learned by generations of math students is difficult to remember, but it can be used to solve quadratic equations where y = 0.

Revise how to simplify algebra using skills of expanding brackets and factorising expressions with this BBC Bitesize GCSE Maths Edexcel guide.

Graph of a quadratic equation and its roots via the quadratic formula. Jacob Rus, CC BY-SA Equations and plots like these are part of algebra, but they’re not the whole story. What unifies ...

Most people’s experiences with polynomial equations don’t extend much further than high school algebra and the quadratic formula. Still, these numeric puzzles remain a foundational component ...
