July 10, 2012Solving equations with complex roots (MathsCasts)An example of solving a degree four polynomial where all powers are even. The substitution w = z^2 is used to rewrite as quadratic, the quadratic formula is applied to find the two solutions and then the complex square roots of both values of w are found....more6minPlay
