  2. Nested radical - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_radical

    In the case of three real roots, the square root expression is an imaginary number; here any real root is expressed by defining the first cube root to be any specific complex cube root of the complex radicand, and by defining the second cube root to be the complex conjugate of the first one.

  3. Generalized continued fraction - Wikipedia

    The roots of this equation are the fixed points of f(z). If the discriminant ( c − b ) 2 + 4 ad is zero the LFT fixes a single point; otherwise it has two fixed points. If ad ≠ bc the LFT is an invertible conformal mapping of the extended complex plane onto itself.

  4. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    Its volume would be multiplied by the cube of 2 and become 8 m 3. The original cube (1 m sides) has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1. The larger (2 m sides) cube has a surface area to volume ratio of (24/8) 3:1. As the dimensions increase, the volume will continue to grow faster than the surface area. Thus the square–cube law.

  5. Root of unity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_of_unity

    As for every cubic polynomial, these roots may be expressed in terms of square and cube roots. However, as these three roots are all real, this is casus irreducibilis, and any such expression involves non-real cube roots. As Φ 8 (x) = x 4 + 1, the four primitive eighth roots of unity are the square roots of the primitive fourth roots, ± i.

  6. Quartic equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_equation

    In mathematics, a quartic equation is one which can be expressed as a quartic function equaling zero. The general form of a quartic equation is Graph of a polynomial function of degree 4, with its 4 roots and 3 critical points.

    Plot of the Chebyshev polynomial of the first kind () with = in the complex plane from -2-2i to 2+2i with colors created with Mathematica 13.1 function ComplexPlot3D. The Chebyshev polynomials are two sequences of polynomials related to the cosine and sine functions, notated as () and ().

  9. Tonelli–Shanks algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonelli–Shanks_algorithm

    The Tonelli–Shanks algorithm (referred to by Shanks as the RESSOL algorithm) is used in modular arithmetic to solve for r in a congruence of the form r 2 ≡ n (mod p), where p is a prime: that is, to find a square root of n modulo p.
