What do you get when you raise a quadratic to the power of a quadratic?
There are six possible solutions to each of the following equations. Can you find them all?
1. (n2−5n+5)(n2−11n+30)=1
2. (n2−7n+11)(n2−13n+42)=1
Can you find some more Mega Quadratic Equations like these?
With thanks to Don Steward, whose ideas formed the basis of this problem.
