    What Are Some Hot Topics in Energy Efficiency?

    This post may be fuzzy, but the point is that I need a topic that is easy to research. Well I'm not researching anything, I have to look at some papers, and then put a paper together on other people research. Just have to aggregate everything. That's all. But I am enthusiastic about it: energy...

    How do you solve a 4th degree equation?

    I actually used this link to help me since Simon Bridge mentioned about long division: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/polydiv3.htm quite simple straight forward method. the roots are -3,2,1, and -1. Since -1 and 1 are guesses that actually worked, I first divided the equation by (r-1) then...

    How do you solve a 4th degree equation?

    Homework Statement From the higher order linear homogeneous differential equation, I get the characteristic equation: r^4 + r^3 -7r^2 -r + 6 = 0 solve for r. Homework Equations how do you do this? The Attempt at a Solution Even if I factor out the r from the first 4 terms on the...
