From the works of Abel (1826) and Galois (1832), we know that a general quintic
equation can not be solved in radicals [1, 2]. With some condition imposed on
it, the quintic becomes solvable in radicals, and is aptly called solvable quintic
equation. In this paper we present a very simple method for solving certain type
of solvable quintic equations. The method converts given quintic equation into a
decomposable quintic equation in an elegant fashion. The condition to be satisfied
by the coefficients of the quintic so that it becomes solvable is derived. We discuss
the behavior of roots of such quintic equations. A procedure to synthesize these
quintics is given. We solve one numerical example using the proposed method at
the end of the paper.
