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 \(f(x) = 0\).

A mathematical conundrum that has remained unsolvable for a few hundred years has been finally solved. The mathematician decided to cut off some extra details and had his EUREKA! moment. Science & ...

A mathematician has uncovered a way of answering some of algebra's oldest problems. University of New South Wales Honorary Professor Norman Wildberger, has revealed a potentially game-changing ...

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 ...
