Simplifying polynomials to a variable power

32 Views Asked by At

The context of this question is this:

For something like the equation $$ax^n + bx + c = 0$$

Is it possible to solve for the roots?

More specifically for the following equation:

$$(1+r)^n + cr - 1 = 0$$

Is it possible to solve for r in terms of c and n? How?
