Math Tricks 2

The document summarizes solutions to algebraic equations including quadric, cubic, and quartic equations. For a quadric equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, the solutions (roots) are x1,2 = −b ± √(b2 - 4ac)/2a. The discriminant is D = b2 - 4ac and determines if the roots are real and unique (D > 0), real and equal (D = 0), or complex conjugates (D < 0). For a cubic equation x3 + a1x2 + a2x + a3 = 0, the solutions (roots) are defined using parameters Q, R, S, and T. The discrimin

Math Formulas: Solutions of algebraic

equations
Quadric Equation: ax2+bx+c=0

Solutions (roots):

x1,2=bb24ac2a
If D=b24ac is the discriminant , then the roots are
1. real and unique if D>0
2. real and equal if D=0
3. complex conjugate if D<0

Cubic Equation: x3+a1x2+a2x+a3=0


Let

QRST=3a2a219=9a1a227a32a3154=R+Q3+R2
3=RQ3+R23
Then solutions (roots) of the cubic equation are:

x1x2x3=S+T13a1=12(S+T)13a1+12i3(ST)=12(S+T)
13a112i3(ST)
If D=Q3+R2 is the discriminant of the cubic equation, then:
1. one root is real and two complex conjugate if
2. all roots are real and at last two are equal if
3. all roots are real and unequal if

D>0

D=0

D<0

Quartic Equation:x4+a1x3+a2x2+a3x+a4=0
Let y1 be a real root of the cubic equation

y3a2y2+(a1a34a4)y+(4a2a4a23a21a4)=0
Then solutions of the quartic equation are the 4 roots of

z2+12(a1a214a2+4y1)z+12(y1y214a4
)=0
