Equations To The Fourth Power
Equations with a fourth degree polynomial on a side of the equation are proven to be the highest degree polynomial solvable using radicals. Another way is to find two factors of the polynomial and divide the original polynomial by them. This results in a quadratic equation which can be easily solved by either the quadratic formula, by completing the square, by using radicals or by factoring back into two binomials.
