Abstract

I present a method that can be used to solve fifth polynomial equations and above. I will propose a general factorization process that will enable the make it possible to reduce a fifth polynomial expression to solvable linear and quartic factors. Quartic equations were first solved by Lodovico Ferari and today they are solvable through many methods presented in various texts.

Keywords: degree five polynomial equations, Abel-Ruffini theorem, Galois Theory, splitting field.
