Abstract

Polynomials of high degrees often appear in many problems such as optimization problems. Equations of the fourth degree or so called quartics are one type of these polynomials. In this paper we give a new Classic method for solving a fourth degree polynomial equation (Quartic). We will show how the quartic formula can be presented easily at the precalculus level.
