What is a depressed polynomial?

It is nothing more than a polynomial that is equivalent to another, but has fewer terms. For an example, see Wikipedia, under "quartic equation".


What are quadratic polynomial quartic polynomial constant polynomial and quintic polynomial?

Those words refer to the degree, or highest exponent that modifies a variable, or the polynomial.Constant=No variables in the polynomialLinear=Variable raised to the first powerQuadratic=Variable raised to the second power (or "squared")Cubic=Variable raised to the third power (or "cubed")Quartic=Variable raised to the fourth powerQuintic=Variable raised to the fifth powerAnything higher than that is known as a "6th-degree" polynomial, or "21st-degree" polynomial. It all depends on the highest exponent in the polynomial. Remember, exponents modifying a constant (normal number) do not count.


What is the quartic polynomial function with rational coefficients that has roots you and 2i?

(x - u)*(x - u)*(x + 2i)*(x - 2i) = (x2 - 2xu + u2)*(x2 + 4) = x4 - 2x3u + x2(u2 + 4) - 8xu + 4u2


What is quartic and biquadratic?

A quartic is a polynomial of degree 4, meaning the highest exponent is 4. Biquadratic can mean the same thing, but most mathematicians use the term biquadratic to refer to an equation of degree 4 with no odd powers. So for example we cannot have an x3 term. An example of a biquadratic is: x4 +x2 + 22=0


Which number is next in the series 8 13 18 24 39?

There seems to be no logical order to this set of numbers. * * * * * Or, you could try 78. Fit the quartic polynomial t(n) = (7n4 - 66n3 + 221n2 - 186n + 216)/24 for n = 1, 2, 3, ...

What are some similarities and differences between quartic and cubic functions?

The similarities are that they are polynomial functions and therefore continuous and differentiable.A real cubic will has an odd number of roots (and so must have a solution), a quartic has an even number of roots and so may have no solutions.
