THIRD DEGREE EQUATIONS:
The formula to solve a second-degree equation is an integral part of the "Diary of the model student".
However, what results spontaneous to ask is: does a formula that allows to solve every equation regardless of their degree exist? In this work, we will try to answer to this question.
We will deal with third-degree equations and upper degree ones. The historical introduction, the demonstration of Cardano, Viète and Ferrari’s formulas and the demonstration of the inexistence of a formula that allows the resolution of equations with degree higher than the fourth will be the themes of our studies.
Ask questions related to the experience and a member of the Archimede Project will respond.
