Solution of single parameter Bring quintic equation

General Mathematics 2021-12-30 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new method to obtain a solution to a single-parameter Bring quintic equation of the form, x5+x=ax^{5}+x=a, where aa is real. The method transforms the given quintic equation to an infinite but convergent series expression in (x/a)(x/a), which is further transformed to a quartic equation in a novel fashion. The coefficients of the quartic equation so obtained are some kind of infinite series expressions in a4a^{-4}, which are termed as \textit{ultraradicals}. The quartic equation is then solved and its one real solution is picked; further using this, the real solution of quintic equation, x5+x=a,x^{5}+x=a, is extracted. The ultraradicals used in this method converge for a>1|a| > 1; hence the method can be used when a>1|a| > 1.
