| Hi.
|
| Could you please email me the solution to x^5 + x^2 = 3 in terms of my
| "magic" function, mag_5(z), that satisfies mag_5(z)^5 + mag_5(z) = z
| for any complex z? Thanks a lot.

X=1.1183395540772662

I got it from
http://tunesmithy.netfirms.com/japplets/iterative_solution_of_quintic.htm
(Which uses an iterative approach)

You should know that www.google.com is an resource that should be used.
http://www.google.com/search?&q=solve+quintic
GOOGLE [ solve quintic ]

This page should give a few hints

Cubic, Quartic, Quintic
Polynomials with degree three are referred to as cubic functions. Degree
four polynomials are quartic functions and degree five polynomials are
quintic functions. There are ways to solve cubic functions and quartic
functions, but the general quintic function ax5 + bx4 + cx3 + dx2 + ex + f =
0 is not solveable algebraically-only numerical approximation can be
obtained.

It is complex as Wolram's website explains
