Some algebra will show us why. Since the line has slope 2 and y-intercept 5, we can write its equation as y = 2x + 5. The equation of the circle is x 2 + y 2 = 25, so to find the points of ...

Researchers have found a new way to solve high-degree polynomial equations, previously thought impossible for 200 years. This math breakthrough reopens algebra.

Revise solving linear equations for your maths GCSE foundation and higher exams with Bitesize interactive practice quizzes covering feedback and common errors.

Until now, a method for solving "higher order" polynomial equations, where x is raised to the power of five or higher, had proven elusive. Wildberger has developed a fresh approach to the problem ...

A mathematician has solved a 200-year-old maths problem after figuring out a way to crack higher-degree polynomial equations without using radicals or irrational numbers. The method developed by ...

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to powers ...

This paper presents techniques to solve for optimal simple monetary policy rules in rational expectations models, assuming discretion. The techniques described are notable for the flexibility they ...
