Before trying to find out the general solution of a radical equation; I would first like to know if it can be found?
For example I have a equation of the form
[itex]
\text{A1}+\text{A2} x + \text{A3}\sqrt{\text{B1}+\text{B2} x+\text{B3} x^{\frac{3}{2}}+\text{B4}\sqrt{x}+\text{B5} x^2}+ \text{A4}\sqrt{\text{C1}+\text{C2} x+\text{C3} x^{\frac{3}{2}}+\text{C4}\sqrt{x}+\text{C5} x^2}=0[/itex]
Can I find x in terms of the Constants A1,A2 etc?
What is the general view on deciding whether a general solution to radical equation exist or not?
I tried searching, but couldn't find out the answer regarding radical equation.
For polynomial equation though, I learned that a general solution doesn't exist for polynomials of degree 5 or higher.
