This is a good one ngl.
It is just (x+1)^3=0 right?
I don't speak English much but this guy explains it so simply and in such detail that I understand everything. Very interesting.

NOW THE QUARTIC FORMULA 😁🙏🏼
*formulas
Mathologer has a video on it, it's really tedious tho since it requires solving a cubic equation, and then a quadratic equation ua-cam.com/video/N-KXStupwsc/v-deo.html
-What about a generalization for any degree?-
I have received more than enough replies telling me this is impossible.
@@Pacvalham only until 3 actually
Will be so cool 😂
Finally a real derivation of the cubic formula. It's honestly not terribly difficult to follow, just tedious.
I love learning derivations for things;
it feels a lot better to have the skill to derive as many formulas as possible, instead of having to look them up in tables.
Same!
your feelings are irrational
Tip:
In ax³+bx²+cx+d=0
Before going to the formula try this.
If a+b+c+d=0 , x=1
If (a+c)-(b+d)=0 , x= -1
Afterwards you can factor it into a quadratic easily.
Ex.
2x³+5x²+2x-1=0
Test1: 2+5+2-1=0 ---> false. x≠1
Test2: (2+2)-(5-1)=0
4-4=0 ---> true. x= -1
Now factor: with solution (x=-1)
2-0=2 ,-1×2= -2 , 5-2=3 , -1×3=-3 , 2-3=-1 , (-1)×(-1)=1 , -1+1=0. Getting 0 means x=-1 is valid solution.(if not then its incorrect solution)
Now take all numbers from the addition and subtraction results in order.
2,3,-1,0 and now you get a quadratic.
2x²+3x-1=0
x²+3/2x=1/2
x²+3/2x+9/16=1/2+9/16
(x+3/4)²=17/16
x=-3/4+-sqrt17/4.
X[1,2,3]={-1 , (-3-sqrt17)/4 , (sqrt17-3)/4}
Thank
Thank you brother 🙏🙏🙏
You can use a rhyme to remember the quadratic formula. This needs a whole song though 😵
And the quartic formula needs a whole album
This was a blast to watch. I watched the whole thing while not feeling bored, because the process was just so adventurous and fun. Can’t believe the dedication put into the presentation of this formula
Thank you!
Finally a great masterpiece, was very curious about this cubic formula...
Masterpiece? No, simple algebra.

I tried deriving it myself but I got stuck at the complex analysis part so thank you for explaining it. it makes more sense now 😊
You can also do it very fast by completing the square ^^
@@LexxusTheSpark In which part do you mean?
@@Oliver-wv4bd the part where he derives the pq-formula.
I love how you finally talked about the p-q-formular. In germany we students only learn this formular to solve quadratic equations. We were never taught abc-formular. It always confused me why every youtuber uses a different formular. I thought the p-q-formular would never be used somewhere else in the world because of that.😅
that's really strange. I am here in the swiss school system which you would suspect not to be that different, and we only shortly talked about the p-q stuff, but also mainly use the main quadratic formula. A main problem may be that the p-q formula is only viable if the coefficient of the x^2 term is 1, which in most cases isn't the case, so it's quite strange because they basically teach you how to solve a special case
@@tollspiller2043
About the schools system: In germany the school system is managed by each state independently. It wouldn't wounder me if the school system in switzerland is different.
About the coefficient needing to be 1: The teachers in my school told us just to divide by the coefficient of the x^2 term. I really didn't like it but I really didn't know math that well back then so I just did what they told me.🤷🤷
@@tollspiller2043 you just divide by the coefficient in front of x^2 to achieve the form for the pq-formula. In some cases that can be faster than using the abc-formula but eh
This probably only happens up to the 10th grade, in the upper school we were only taught the quadratic formula, bc the pq one tends to be inconvenient due to the ugly numbers you get when you divide with a
@@TyphAle99 Yeah... about that... We are expected to solve quadratic equations by factoring at that point... we never used any formular to solve equations after 10th grade. Wich is better... I think?
Hey BPRP, I just wanted to thank you for posting this video. I know this was a ton of work and took a lot of planning, and I really appreciate the effort you put into here. It definitely did not go unnoticed over here. You’ve been one of my favorite math educators ever sense I discovered your channel. I have been subscribed for almost a year now and in that time you have taught me so much. Even more, I have been trying to solve the Cubic formula for a couple months, and had recently given up thinking it was too hard and you come up and post a clear proof explaining how and why each step works. You have inspired me to think critically about problems and also kindled in me a love for math that will affect me in my college studies coming up. You are the best. Keep up the great work!
I am very happy to hear this. Thank you and best wishes to you!

oh my gaah
Now WE need a video for the quartic formula
and also the quintic formula, yes it does exist you just need to use Elliptic functions

i had so much fun watching this video!! all this time ive been wondering how people get the cubic equation. i'm in 7th grade and i have just been a math fanatic since june 2022 and i have improved a lot since then. it got to the point that i understand calculus and how to do those limits, l'h rule, that type of thing. basically what im trying to say is i enjoyed this video a lot and it felt like i dived into the math rabbithole.
Please go quartic equations

he’s gonna need a bigger whiteboard for that
True. I dont’t even think he can fit the formula alone on the board, let alone the derivation.
Gotta pay respect to this man who dragged himself through algebraic perdition for you guys
lol thanks!
Fantastic! I was wondering how the cubic formula can be derived. Thanks for explaining!
Love your channel. Super helpful. I am doing Laplace Transform of discontinuous forcing functions and your videos helped out alot.
I never get bored watching this guy, instead it inspires me to do more maths and calculas hard maths etc its relaxing and asmr
I love watching math videos that I have no hope of fully understanding!
bro you just legit helped me with one of the biggest obstacles in my thesis THANK YOU SO MUCH

Do quatric formula next
Quartic formula 💀
Give a respect to those who made these valuable captions
Your ebullient attitude turns mathematics into a joyful pursuit. The approach you demonstrated for solving the quadratic was a revelation to me, and it set the stage for the cubic solution perfectly. Use an additional variable, "k", to eliminate one of the powers: What an ingenious idea!
Yesterday, I was reading about Feynmann integration: There too, an additional variable is introduced. Is this a conceptual parallel?
Anyway, I suspect that you wrote "2" beneath the "q" deliberately, to test your viewers. I saw it immediately, and I hoped that you would see it too -- which you did, fortunately!
Very well explained. The different colour pens really help viewers follow the terms too. It's not difficult to solve once you know the trick but there is an awful lot of algebra. I could sense your relief and enjoyment getting to the final answers. If you do a video on the quartic..."You're gonna need a bigger board".
Wow! Perfect way to derive the quadratic formula
I'm fine with the cubic formula, but what I really want a video on is the quartic formula 😁
Pls give this man an infinitely large board so that he dont need to rub every time 😭😭 great explanation sir
stop getting so emotional
I treat his long videos about concepts i dont know about as movie night(with popcorn!)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I memorized this set as well as the quartic ones
This is such a beautiful thing.
i understood like maybe a third of the video but i still watched the whole thing 😂
I always use these kinds of long, overwhelming formulas as excuses to write programming code in MatLab (one of my personal favourite programming languages);
there is something satisfying about writing a program file, and then being able to have that program file calculate things for me.
Bring part 3 of 100 Intrigral please
I hope we can get another video of BPRP deriving the quartic formula. Will almost certainly be a (very) long video, but I would watch every minute. I have a feeling he's already working on it though.
I want the quartic formula!
Finally, at long last, you've presented us with the derivation of the legendary Cardano Formula (or was it due to Cardano at all?)
Why do the cubic equations never have p and q when they repeatedly appear
Bravo je vais l'essayer sur un exemple
After seeing your video, i tried to derive the formula and i did it!!!!!! now i can flex it to my friends!!!

Hello, do you mind explaining how the graph of y = x^y works
Think you very much
PROF thanks as always UR second of none)
Yesss sin of 10 degrees. I remember a video you made where you showed sin of 10 degrees was a root of a polynomial with irrational roots. So i can see how the formula would help
Great I want the quintic formula
I asked Mathematica to solve a general quartic, and it gave me the formula for that - though I wouldn't want to write it by hand!
I have a question about the preview video. why did you take the expression in the square with a minus sign after the square root, if you wrote the expression with a plus sign when deriving the formula?
omg this is amazing
The proof I know is different (at least for the real solution, I don't remember if I used the same method for the complex ones as well)
Once you have x³+px+q,
Let x=u+v, with u≥v and 3uv=-p
So we have (u+v)³+(u+v)p+q=0
Expanding:
u³+v³+3uv(u+v)+(u+v)p+q=0
u³+v³+(u+v)(3uv+p)+q=0
(u³+v³+q)+[(u+v)(3uv+p)]=0
Since we chose u and v such that 3uv=-p, the second half becomes 0, leaving us with:
u³+v³+q=0
u³+v³=-q
Combined with the condition 3uv=-p we get a symmetric system of in equationa in two variables (I'll use two { parentheses but just pretend it's a single one):
{ u³+v³=-q
{ uv=-p/3
We can raise the second equation to the third power to solve the system in the unknowns u³ and v³.
{ u³+v³=-q
{ u³v³=-p³/27
Let u³=i, v³=j
{ i+j=-q
{ ij=-p³/27
Notice that the solutions i,j to this system of equations are the solutions to the quadratic equation
z²+qz-p³/27=0
where, using the quadratic formula,
z1,2= (-q±√(q²+4p³/27))/2
By going back to all substitutions we made you can have the formula for x (I don't want to write that monster)
Great!
Yes, is an amazing classic solution.
So, for the quadratic it was k = -p/2, with p = a/b, and in total p = -b/(2a).
For the cubic, it is k = -a/(3b)
Is it for the quartic k = -a/(4b)?
Then, if the general quintic is not soluble, what happens with k = -a/(5b)?
I have this memorized. I did a study on it last year for fun :)
can you please explain me that how the heck we get transcendental roots of cubic with rational or irrational coefficients even tho thats not happening in answer, also we know that sin3x = (3sinx - sin^3x)/4, putting x = 10 degrees we get depressed cubic with rational coefficients , hence we can find value of sin 10 , which would be one of the roots of the cubic
About the substitution y = z + k/z, there is something weird happening.
First of all, if we suppose that k>0 in the function f(z) = z + k/z, it doesn't offer us a valid substitution. Indeed, in that case, the minimum value on the positive side will be (k+1)*sqrt(k), and the maximum value on the negative side will be (k-1)*sqrt(k). If we treat the y=0 case apart from this substitution, we have a big problem in the case of k>0, since there is plenty of values which are not reached by the substitution.
More precisely, the open interval ( (k-1)*sqrt(k) , (k+1)*sqrt(k) ) isn't contained in the image of f...
What does that mean ? It means that for k>0, the substitution doesn't reach some values we were considering and not neglecting at the first place, y = k*sqrt(k) being one of them for example.
What if k
heroic video
Nice of you my friend.
Thanks
Nice, but near 39:16 where did the -p/3 factor go for the 1/z term? I get 1/w_1 = w_2 , but in y2 and y3 there was no -p/3 attached to the 2nd, conjugate term.
EDIT: wait a second I think I see, does it cancel out in the same way y1 does when conjugating 1/z term?
That's absolutely amazing.
Now do the full quartic formula /hj
Any cubic equation can be turned into the form - { x^3 + 3 m x = 2 n } and then solved as -
x = sum of 2 cube-roots = (n + d)^(1/3) + (n - d)^(1/3) where d^2 = D = n^2 + m^3 i.e. D = cubic discriminant and it's square root is +/- d.
*Very easy to remember* right ?
do one for the quartic formula
You are AMAZING. You explain best why the only solution to a cubic equation is cube root(S + (sqrt T)) + cube root(S-(sqrt T)) which you obtain by substituting y= z+ k/z. However, my question is how you are led to this substitution by the Vieta formulae.
When taking the sqrt of something, we always remember to put +/- recognizing that there are 2 roots. Call them +/- r. I suppose to be completely thorough, we should do similarly when taking cube roots of a number. Using omega (w), where w1=1, w2=(1+i*sqrt(3))/2, w3=(1-i*sqrt(3))/2, the roots of a real number # would be r*w1, r*w2, r*w3. Where r^3 = #
My question is: in intermediate steps such as at about 30:00 in the video, the cube root of 27 was just put down as 3, then the 3's canceled out. How do we justify only using the real root of 27 (3*w1)? Why would we not include 3*w2 and 3*w3 at that step to be more thorough?
I have the same question, why not consider the complex roots there too?
yeah. it gets a bit hairy when trying to find the other cube roots (not the principal root).
i guess in his case, he is trying to just focus on the principal root first (principal cube root of a real number is real) then deal with the other cube roots later with w2 and w3.
however, it does indeed get hairy when p is complex... like cbrt(p^3) = p is not necesarily the principal root i believe if p is complex.
and also it gets hairy when he brings the cube roots together in the denominator
cbrt(z1)cbrt(z2) = cbrt(z1z2)
but we know that sqrt(z1z2) is not necesarily the same as sqrt(z1)sqrt(z2) if we consider principal roots only.
It all seems okay when p and q are real... but yeah, it's super hairy and tricky there to justify which cuberoot to use.
so i dont quite have an answer either...
@@user-pv5hd1vu1t I know how one can take such cube roots using the nth root of unity. My question is more so how it doesn’t contradict there only being 3 complex solutions to the cubic. When taking the cube root of 27 and getting three different answers earlier and combining that with our 3 final solutions it appears like we should get more solutions.
@@Happy_Abe yeah, this is why you just take the principal root and instead of using the cube roots of unity method by choosing a different branch of the cube root, you use the fact from cube roots of unity and multiply by w2 ans w3 which is equivalent. this way you dont have to really think about multiple solns nested within multiple solns.
start with principal branch, worry about the others later
@@user-pv5hd1vu1t of course one can do this, but why does doing this not miss out on some of the solutions. Clearly, there are only 3 solutions to cubics, but the question is why don’t those other roots lead to other solutions. I’m guessing if one goes through the very long and tedious algebra they will end up being the same solutions anyway, but it still makes me curious
Blackpenredpen, I have always regarded this as too impressive to try, but this time I followed to the very end! Thank you! Now you have to plug the solutions you found into the original equation to see if they verify it... However, I think you should have taken a=1 when started with the third degree equation - it would have simplified it a little without any reduction of generality...
Thank you! : )
and now for the quartic formula/j
Quartic formula is much easier
What's the typeface or program used for the screenhot in the end? 40:05
Great 😉
Mathologer has another really nice video about this concept called "500 Years of not Teaching the Cubic Formula" 😊
That and the veritasium video
@@Michael-sb8jf YES, I wanted to mention that one as well, but couldn't remember the name 😂
It was epic!
I have a doubt. You made:
y= z - p / (3z)
but, what happens if z=0?
Suppose: x^2 + 2 =0, this yields to p=0, q= 2.
z= cbrt( -q/2 + sqrt( q^2/4 + p^3/3 ) ) = cbrt (-2/2 + sqrt( 4/4) ) = 0.
Now, the formulae work:
x1= cbrt(2)
x2= w1 cbrt(2)
x3= w2 cbrt(2)
but they make me feel itchy
Please do ax⁴+bx³+cx²+dx+e=0 for us 🙏🙏🙏
WHOOOA I WAS ALSO THINKING ABOUT DOING THAT but I realized I'm not that good at all the stuff with cubics so I didn't get far
Can you solve for x?
(1/2)x+(1/2+x)x^2+(1/2+2x)x^3+(1/2+3x)x^4=(1/2+4x)x^5
I'm curious because it's a quintuple but it's apparently possible.
My worst nightmare came true: Getting such recommendations
