so /sci/
Is there some proof out there stating that a general zero-finding formula using only trig and logs cannot exist? As in, can one find the zeroes of polynomials using only trig and logs, maybe even nested logs and trig?
i've read that abels theorem says no general formula using addition, multiplication, division, subtraction, exponent, or radical. exists for polynomials above the degree 5, but trig isnt addition, multiplication, division, subtraction, exponent, or radical.
i've been told to look into fourier series but i jsut dont know where to start.
i want an exact formula, not estimations. ( though, of course estimations may have to be used when implementing the formula)

thanks for the contribution...
I know your pain, but you do have to realize that some times the answer will never be as pretty as you hoped.
Here's what you were looking for:

And all general x^5 + ax^4 +bx^3...=0 equations can be resolved to x^5-x+p=0 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bring_radical#Bring.E2.80.93Jerrard_normal_form ), by using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tschirnhaus_transformation

I dont mean just quintics, i mean a general formula for any polynomial degree (whole degree)
currently studying so, i cant read it fully.

I really just gave you that as a starter. You could use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_inversion_theorem and use a basic taylor series expansion.

The answer is -1/12
