For any polynomial of degree 4 or less, there is a formula to extract the roots in terms of radicals of the coefficients of the polynomial (e.g. the Quadratic Formula). However, for a general polynomial of degree 5 or higher, there is no such formula.

Wow. The complexity rises quickly. The solution to ax^3+bx^2+cx+d=0 is in the 1st picture (which I've never seen). One expects three solutions (here's one), Two solutions might be imaginary (2nd picture). https://math.vanderbilt.edu/schectex/courses/cubic/ ……pic.twitter.com/y3MhoaHxjz

Interestingly, in formulating and proving this equation, Rafael Bombelli, coined the value of "i" as a constant, in order to solve the inconsistency. Both "i"s would cancel itself, giving a numerical answer for x. He thought it was a pure coincidence and ignored his discovery.

No, that was Galois, not Abel! Abel was murdered by Kain...

Similarly Nils Granz (1895-1957) found there was no easy formula for baking his mother’s famed gribblecake. Either the temperature was too high or the mangoes were too soft. He finally found the secret in using the right amount of ras al hanout.
