Quadratics and quintics 2006-07-18
From Lynne:
What is wrong with this statement? "The quintic is one step up from the dread quadratic equation." (Newsweek, Dec. 19, 2005)

The inverse of a quintic function 2004-07-22
From A student:
I'm really having trouble finding out the inverse of this quintic equation. F(X)= X5+3X3+1.I know that this quintic has an inverse because it is one to one. But I can't find a method to solve this. Finding the inverse of a quadratic or a cubic equation is a lot easier, but with this quintc I am really lost. I even know how the graph of this equation and its inverse looks like, but I'm not sure if Iam getting the right equation. Please help me out.

Polynomials degree 4 and bigger 2003-06-26
From Stephen:

How do I show kids how to find all the zeros for polynomials degree 4 and bigger.

For examples:
r(x) = x5-11x3-7x2+77 = (x2-11)(x3-7) and s(x) = x4-121 = (x2-11)(x2+11)

Also am I correct when I say that the following are irreducible?

f(x) = x2-11
g(x) = x3-7
h(x) = x4-5
