Abstract

It was proved by Galois that there are no formulas that can be used to solve “by radicals” general equations of degree 5 or larger. In this paper we solved the general pentagonal equation under certain conditions. We used the “Quartic Formula” and unipodal numbers respectively for condition 1 and conditions 2 to solve the general pentagonal equation. The unipodal case was elaborated with a detailed example.
