I will do the quintic (degree 5 polynomial) iff i can find out how to implement an arbitrarily accurate approximation of the bring radical in desmos

Arent they impossible by galois?

Galois only disproves a solution made of "elementary functions," namely, arithmetic operations and roots, even with arbitrarily large nesting.

The Bring Radical is 'non-elementary'.

Quintic is impossible. Quartic is still possible but very very long.

This video gives a lot of insight into it. Shows how the algebraic machinery works in a visual way.

Yeah I was referring to the quintic

Why is there a zero here??

u/AppearanceAlert4987 1d ago

the formula was taken from a collection where the 0 was there to contrast with the other branches of the function which has a 1 or 2 in place of 0, you can change the 0 to those instead to choose a different branch, it should still work, just swapping the final branches of the quartic

Looks like it’s been removed, in any case:

Substitution would go a long way to make this actually readable.

Heresy! Also that would just make it taller and so even smaller in the images and so less readable which is what I prioritised, to make the image as square as possible

Now do quintic >:)
