This package supplies a set of functions that find the roots of
|
|
polynomials. Polynomials up to the quartic may be solved directly by
|
|
numerical formulae. Polynomials of fifth and higher powers will be
|
|
solved by an iterative method, as there are no general solutions for
|
|
fifth and higher powers.
|
|
|
|
The linear, quadratic, cubic, and quartic *_roots() functions all
|
|
expect to have a non-zero value for the $a term.
|
|
|
|
If the constant term is zero then the first value returned in the list
|
|
of answers will always be zero, for all functions.
