The calculator solves polynomial roots of any degree. For small degree polynomials analytic methods are applied, for 5-degree or higher the polynomial roots are estimated by numerical method. Show
The calculator solves real polynomial roots of any degree univariate polynomial with integer or rational terms. The calculator factors an input polynomial into several square-free polynomials, then solves each polynomial either analytically or numerically (for 5-degree or higher polynomials). A function graph is plotted to illustrate the polynomial solution. N-degree polynomial rootsPolynomial coefficients, space separated.

What is factoring?A polynomial with rational coefficients can sometimes be written as a product of lower-degree polynomials that also have rational coefficients. In such cases, the polynomial is said to "factor over the rationals." Factoring is a useful way to find rational roots (which correspond to linear factors) and simple roots involving square roots of integers (which correspond to quadratic factors). Polynomials with rational coefficients always have as many roots, in the complex plane, as their degree; however, these roots are often not rational numbers. In such cases, the polynomial will not factor into linear polynomials. Rational functions are quotients of polynomials. Like polynomials, rational functions play a very important role in mathematics and the sciences. Just as with rational numbers, rational functions are usually expressed in "lowest terms." For a given numerator and denominator pair, this involves finding their greatest common divisor polynomial and removing it from both the numerator and denominator. How do you find the roots of a factored polynomial?You can find the roots, or solutions, of the polynomial equation P(x) = 0 by setting each factor equal to 0 and solving for x. Solve the polynomial equation by factoring. Set each factor equal to 0. 2x4 = 0 or (x – 6) = 0 or (x + 1) = 0 Solve for x.
