(x - u)*(x - u)*(x + 2i)*(x - 2i)
= (x2 - 2xu + u2)*(x2 + 4)
= x4 - 2x3u + x2(u2 + 4) - 8xu + 4u2
Let's define this question one word at a time. A polynomial is an equation with the variable x raised to whole number powers other than 0. This may include 2x + 3, or x2 - 8x + 16, or even x5 - 4x3 + 9. Coefficients are the numbers multiplied by the x term in question. The term 6x3 has a coefficient of 6, the term -x/2 has a coefficient of -1/2 and the term x2 has a coefficient of 1. Rational numbers are those which can be written as a ratio, or a fraction. This means its decimal notation will either have a finite amount of digits, like 0.625 (5/8), or a repeating series of decimals, e.g. 2.16666... or 13/6. Rational numbers can only be formed with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division - this means it excludes functions like taking the square root, the sine, or the log of a number. In summary, a polynomial with rational coefficients is an expression with multiple terms, such as ax2 + bx + c, where the coefficients 'a' and 'b' (and typically 'c' as well, as it is the coefficient of x0 which is 1 by definition, and is therefore being multiplied by 1) are rational numbers. This can extend to mean a polynomial of any degree, be it linear (x), cubic (x3), quartic (x4) or anything higher - so long as the coefficients of all the x terms are rational.
Each distinct real root is an x-intercept. So the answer is 4.
It is nothing more than a polynomial that is equivalent to another, but has fewer terms. For an example, see Wikipedia, under "quartic equation".
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.
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
No.

A fourth degree polynomial can be called a "quartic".

I am assuming this is: .2x4 - 5x2 - 7x, which would be a Quartic Polynomial.
A quartic is an algebraic equation or function of the fourth degree.
Each distinct real root is an x-intercept. So the answer is 4.
no
It is nothing more than a polynomial that is equivalent to another, but has fewer terms. For an example, see Wikipedia, under "quartic equation".
A quartic equation can be factored by grouping or using a substitution method. You can also use the rational root theorem to find potential rational roots and factorize the quartic equation accordingly. Alternatively, you can use numerical methods or technology to approximate the roots.
