quarticRoots()

template<typename realT >

void mx::math::quarticRoots	(	std::vector< std::complex< realT > > &	x,
		realT	a,
		realT	b,
		realT	c,
		realT	d,
		realT	e
	)

Find the roots of the general quartic equation.

Finds the roots of

\[ f(x) = a x^4 + b x^3 + c x^2 + d x + e \]

using the general formula for quartic roots. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic_function.

Template Parameters

realT

is the floating point type used for calculations.

Parameters

[out]	x	On exit contains the 4 roots, is resized to length 4.
[in]	a	the coefficient of the \(x^4\) term.
[in]	b	the coefficient of the \(x^3\) term.
[in]	c	the coefficient of the \(x^2\) term.
[in]	d	the coefficient of the \(x^1\) term.
[in]	e	the coefficient of the \(x^0\) term.
