Definition:Quartic Equation

Definition
Let $f \left({x}\right) = a x^4 + b x^3 + c x^2 + d x + e$ be a polynomial function over a field $K$ of degree $4$.

Then the equation $f \left({x}\right) = 0$ is the general quartic equation (or just quartic) over $K$.

It can be solved analytically. The roots can be obtained by using Ferrari's Method.
