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 \(f(x) = 0\).

Math anxiety isn’t just “hating math.” It is a physiological response. When faced with a difficult equation, your brain’s ...

An equation is a mathematical statement showing that two expressions are equal. The two expressions are linked with an equals symbol (=). The unknown variable (often the letter \(x\)) can take any ...

The deterministic factorization algorithm for polynomials over finite fields that was recently introduced by the author is based on a new type of linearization of the factorization problem. The main ...
