The following statements find a quadratic spline transformation that consists of a polynomial X_t = b0 + b1 X + b2 X2 for the range (X < 3.0) and a completely different polynomial X_t = b3 + b4 X + b5 ...

2. The highest power of x in a polynomial is called the degree of that polynomial. For example n is called the degree of the above polynomial p (x). 3.

Researchers have found a new way to solve high-degree polynomial equations, previously thought impossible for 200 years. This math breakthrough reopens algebra.
