Math Tricks 2

The document summarizes solutions to algebraic equations including quadric, cubic, and quartic equations. For a quadric equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, the solutions (roots) are x1,2 = −b ± √(b2 - 4ac)/2a. The discriminant is D = b2 - 4ac and determines if the roots are real and unique (D > 0), real and equal (D = 0), or complex conjugates (D < 0). For a cubic equation x3 + a1x2 + a2x + a3 = 0, the solutions (roots) are defined using parameters Q, R, S, and T. The discrimin
