A quartic is an algebraic equation or function of the fourth degree.
Quartic means that the "dominant" term is proportional to n^4
A quartic.
Luca Pacioli (1445-1515) discussed quartic equations, but did not have a general solution. Lodovico Ferrari (1522-1565) devised a solution.

He is known for quartic equations.

A fourth degree polynomial can be called a "quartic".
no
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.
It is a quartic equation in the variable x.
