    The sum of the coefficients is 0 therefore 1 is a solution
    X⁴-4x³+2x²-11x+12=
    X⁴-x³-3x³+3x²-x²+x-12x+12=
    X³(x-1)-3x²(x-1)-x(x-1)-12(x-1)=
    (X-1)(x³-3x²-x-12)
    Then factoring a cubic is much easier

    6a+2b=-11
    Lef side is even, right side is odd!
    No integer solution!

    If the independent term has too many factors, this can be quite hard, as you must check every combination of two factors 2 times each, as they can also have switched signs.
    The solution of the system of equations is a=(Ac-C)/(c-d) and b=(C-Ad)/(c-d). A and C are the coefficients of x^3 and x, and c and d are the top and bottom numbers at the right cross which are factors of the independent term. Substitute directly into a to eliminate more quickly those in which a is not a in integer. If a is an integer, obtain b and check the last condition

    could you do the Δ(4th/D) problem from the Greek panhellenics 2024 if possible?

    (x - r1)(x - r2)(x - r3)(x - r4) = ax^4 + bx^3 + cx^2 + dx + e
    Multiply out the left side, set the coefficients of like powers of x equal to each other, solve the system of equations for a, b, c, d, and e in terms of r1, r2, r3, and r4. Hint: a = 1. :-)

      true, but to do long division don't you need to first guess either (x-1) or (x-3)?

      Being a monic equation with integer coefficients, it can't have factors with fraccional coeficients

      Not all 4th degree polynomials can be factored with synthetic division. If all the roots are imaginary, then synthetic division can't help, and a method like this might be the only way.

    you should be able to calculate whether useful quantum computers will ever be developed....the limiting factor is noise and we know how much noise there is and how much each unit of noise reduces quantum integrity with respect to accuracy.....it should be a straightforward matter to compute whether noise will ever be sufficiently mastered to permit reliable useful quantum computing beyond the toy stage
