[@chx1618]

@@createyourownfuture5410 cyclo = cycle = circle, tomic = cut. Cyclotomic polynomials are those that have roots that are evenly spaced on the unit circle in the complex plane (and oriented to line up with the real number 1 as a solution) that no other cyclotomic polynomial of lesser degree has. So the first cyclotomic polynomial is x -1 = 0. The second splits the complex unit circle in two, so that would be x^2 = 1 for x = {-1, 1}, but 1 is already a root, so it's (x^2 - 1) / (x - 1) = 0, or x + 1 = 0. The third cyclotomic polynomial has three roots evenly spaced around the unit circle, but nix x=1, so that's x^2 + x + 1 = 0. The fourth cyclotomic has 4 roots evenly spaced, but x = {-1, 1} are already taken by the second and first cyclotomics, respectively, so it's a polynomial whose roots are {-i, i}, or x^2 + 1 = 0. The p-th cyclotomic polynomial (where p is prime) is always in the form sum (n=0 to p-1) x^n. See if you can prove why. The nth cyclotomic polynomial is always in the form x^n - 1 / (product ( j divides n ) j-th cyclotomic polynomial).

Or you can use partial sum of a geometric series formula: ∑[𝑘=0..𝑛] 𝑥ᵏ = (𝑥ⁿ⁺¹ − 1) / (𝑥 − 1) which is equal to iff the numerator is zero but the denominator is not. So, the solutions are all (𝑛+1)ᵗʰ roots of unity except the unit itself. Which is basically the same method.

Great video. It's interesting how the quartic was actually the harder than the quintic.

[@GRBtutorials]

The quartic can also be solved by the method he used in the quintic, it’s just that he used different methods.

[@Hazza2]

Each polynomial is actually just a geometric series, the reason he multiplied by (x-1) for the Quintic is because of the geometric sum formula. Sum x^r from r=0 to r=n equals (x^(n+1)-1)/(x-1). So infact each and every one of this polynomials could have been multiplied by (x-1) and then solved very easily by getting the nth root of unity. In general a polynomial sum x^r, r=0 to n, i.e. x^n + x^n-1 + ….. + x +1 = 0 can be multiplied by (x-1) to obtain x^n+1 -1 =0 to then get the nth roots of unity

[@farhansadik5423]

You are an absolute legend bro, thanks, I only have one question, for the quintic, when you multiply by (x-1) on both sides, the quintic turns into just (x^5-1)right? Because before, the partial sum for geometric series was (x^5-1)/(x-1) so why did he write x^6-1? Shouldn't it have been x^5-1? Sorry i'm still learning

[@siavashghazisaidi8338]

One of the last roots of the last equation is -1,since it is an inverse relationship with an odd degree. The resulting quartic equation can be solved by using the method of solving inverse relations.

In quintic you can also factor (x+1). Or you can solve all five of them by multiplying (x-1) as shown in the last one.

[@tywad8697]

For the quartic equation after dividing by x^2 my first instinct was to let x= cos@ + isin@, so I could then get x + 1/x to be 2cos@ and x^n + 1/x^n to be 2cosn@. After which I got a hidden quadratic, found a few values of @ and put it back into my original substitute. I do think your way was cleaner since I did need a good calculator to keep things in exact form.

These are really getting awesome as it gets

This video is very satisfying to watch

6:18 Caution, 1/𝜑²-4 is negative, so we cannot take the square root so, but you can write i√(4-1/𝜑²) (because 4-1/𝜑² is positive). Same at 6:58 for 𝜑²-4 which is also negative.

[@haakoflo]

You use the complex square roots. Anyway, the approach used for the 5th order version can be used for all other orders, and is much simpler.

I feel like he made the solutions were wayy more complicated than needed, like i know all of this, but i have never seen anyone solbe it this way

Am I missing something on the golden ratio? From Goggle, golden ratio is (1+root (5))/2. The negative of golden ratio is correct. However, the reciprocal of golden ratio seems weird to me.

[@philipyao5989]

you can show that 2/(1+sqrt(5))=(sqrt(5)-1)/2 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by sqrt(5)-1. Additionally, since the golden ratio is a solution to the equation: x^2-x-1=0, that means φ^2-φ-1=0, or φ^2=φ+1 If you divide both sides by φ and simplify you get 1/φ=φ-1 =(1+sqrt(5))/2-1 =(-1+sqrt(5))/2

[@Ninja20704]

Just rationalise the denominator after taking the reciprocal and you’ll get it

[@HELLOhi16007]

Just asking: Do you plan on doing additional mathematics for O'Levels?

[@CombustibleL3mon]

The quartic solution is actually so cool how it involves the golden ratio

[@therealshavenyak]

What’s really mind blowing is this: the 3rd roots of unity have angles of 2k(pi)/3, and their values can be expressed in a+bi form using integers and sqrt(3). In the same way, the 5th roots have angles of 2k(pi)/5, and can be expressed with integers and sqrt(5) (which led to the golden ratio popping up). You might naturally wonder if this holds true for n=7, but surprise! The trigonometric functions of 2k(pi)/7 are not expressible using any real root of any rational number. The number 5 seems almost to sit on a boundary between “easy” and “hard” math problems. It was small enough that the 5th roots of unity were well behaved, but on the other hand, it’s the smallest degree of polynomial to have no general formula for solution.

[@amango5555]

What’s about 1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5+…=0

[@schizoframia4874]

I don’t think it ever = 0. Oddly enough.

[@Ninja20704]

The LHS is 1/(1-x), which we know using the geometric series formula. So 1/(1-x) = 0, which has no solution because if u multiply 1-x on both sides you get 1=0

[@schizoframia4874]

I tried the method used in level 5 but with a limit. It doesnt work because the variable im letting approach infinity will only allow integers to plug in. Another problem is I falsely showed 1-1+1-1…=0 by accident. Sorry if i explained poor

[@schizoframia4874]

@@Ninja20704 I agree with u but 1+x+x^2…=1/(1-x) , if |x|

[@calvindang7291]

@@schizoframia4874 I mean, if |x|>=1 it doesn't converge, so it's definitely not going to be able to answer an equation.

Wonderful video! 👍👍

[@nick46285]

wait, why not x^3(x^2+x+1)+x^2+x+1 = 0 (x^3+1)(x^2+x+1) = 0 (x+1)(x^2-x+1)(x^2+x+1) = 0 then easy solve by quadratic which is doable without university knowledge

[@Ninja20704]

He said he didnt want to use that method because it would be similar the the cubic eqn earlier.

[@ffggddss]

Let p(x) = xⁿ⁻¹ + ... + x + 1, n > 1. Then (x-1)p(x) = (x-1)(xⁿ⁻¹ + ... + x + 1) = xⁿ - 1 So the solutions to p(x) = 0 are the complex n'th roots of unity, except 1 itself. Confession: I've seen this before. Like, before there was a bprp YT channel; like before there was YT; like before there was an internet/ARPAnet. Addendum: I really thought you were going to work the last one, the quintic, by grouping, because that would have reduced the problem to one(s) that we've already solved; the fervent quest of every mathematician. x⁵ + x⁴ + x³ + x² + x + 1 = (x+1)(x⁴ + x² + 1) which we know gives x = -1 and x² = ½(-1 ± i√3) ... then go back to your existing video about how to find √(a + bi), to find those last 4 roots of the quintic. . . . or x⁵ + x⁴ + x³ + x² + x + 1 = (x³+1)(x² + x + 1) = (x+1)(x² - x + 1)(x² + x + 1) which gives x = -1 and x = ½(±1 ± i√3) Final note: Please take these remarks as they are intended - additional discussion on your excellent video. In your final problem, you build the bridge needed to get to the remaining infinity of problems in this "sequence." I think you're doing wonderful work here, spreading the fun of math to the YT community. Thanks! Fred

[@blackpenredpen]

Hi Fred! Thanks for your thoughtful comment, just like always! I mentioned that we could do the quintic by grouping but we did that already for the cubic. And I just wanted to make the last one "awesome", that's why I did it that way! : )

[@ffggddss]

@@blackpenredpen Yes, I agree that was a good choice. And as I said, by doing that, you actually answered an infinite number of problems in one solution! ;-) And it's good practice to use that strategy of variety in your "lesson plan" for the video, to maximize the use of screen time. Fred

[@thatmango3122]

loved level 3. cuz i actually understood it

[@x88.berkay]

Thank you master

[@BetaKeja]

🤔Started to see the pattern with the cubic solution being i, i^2, and i^3; and I was kind of expecting it to end with a general solution. It wasn't quite the general solution but did end up being a general method. The n+1th roots of unity minus 1.

[@kunalchakraborty3037]

For n th order problem the solution will be vertices of n+1 th order regular polygon inscribed in a unit circle, with one vertice being on 1.

[@moeberry8226]

It shall be noted that when taking the six roof we should account for plus or minus but since the solutions lie on the unit circle the -e^(pi/3)I and the rest of the other negative values will just correspond to another value with a different angle theta. For example e^ipi=-1 but -e^ipi=1 which corresponds to n=0 but was discarded since it wasn’t a solution of the original equation since we multiplied by an extra factor (x-1). And similarly for e^(ipi/3) corresponds to e^(4ipi/3).

[@PhilosophicalNonsense-wy9gy]

Level 4s equation blew my mind tbh

[@gplgomes]

The method used for que quintic equation can be used for all type from grade 1 to infinite.

[@yahya8234]

For the last one we can also just factorise by x^3 the 3 first therms and then everything goes by itself

[@bogcankan3469]

What is the name of the teqnik he used at last question with using r and tetha angle

[@marcushendriksen8415]

I used the last method for the cubic onwards. The set of solutions for the n degree polynomial, call it X_n, are the numbers of the form cis(2×k×pi/(n+1)), k going from 1 to n

[@supremefox1018]

Good great awesome outstanding AMASING!

[@paulvanderveen4309]

You're basically attempting to write the n-th roots of unity in radical form (which is possible for any root of unity).

[@TheJaguar1983]

Funnily enough, I just did an animated 3D graph on Desmos for that exact quadratic, with x as the real part of x, y as the real part of y, z as the imaginary part of y and animating "a" between -1 and 1 as the imaginary part of x. I found the y-intercept at x=-.5,a=sqrt(3)/2 and x=-.5,a=-sqrt(3)/2, as expected.

[@caetanogarelii6657]

I remember reading a while ago that there's a quintic formula. Tho, it requires adding new formulas

Comments before watching: My immediate guess for the fifth equation in the thumbnail was -1, and I see from calculating it out that that is in fact a solution. I am excitedly anticipating that there will also be some less trivial solutions. After watching: I knew I would be reminded of how to calculate roots of unity by this video. Thanks.
