4w^4+40w^2-44=0

myininaya (myininaya):

divide both sides by 4 first!

myininaya (myininaya):

\[w^4+10w^2-11=0\]

myininaya (myininaya):

now let u=w^2

myininaya (myininaya):

\[u^2+10u-11=0\]

myininaya (myininaya):

that should be easier to solve now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please type a very elaborate reply on how you find the real number solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divide throughout by 4. \[w^4 + 10 w^2 - 11 = 0\]\[(w^2 + 11)(w^2 - 1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ 4 (w-1) (w+1) \left(w^2+11\right) \]

w2 =y 4y2 +40y -44=0 /4 y2 +10y -11=0 y_1,_2=(-10+/- sqrt(100+44))/2 =(-10+/- 12)/2 = -22/2 = -11 and 2/2 =1 w2= -11 w_1,2= +/- isqrt11 w2=1 w_3,4= +/- 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the solutions are \(1,-1\sqrt{11} i \)

OpenStudy (sriram):

w here will be real

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*\( 1,-1,\sqrt{11} i \)

myininaya (myininaya):

lol

OpenStudy (sriram):

oh sorry we get w^2=-11 or 1 w=+-1 or +-(11i)^1/2

myininaya (myininaya):

yes the product of plus or minus the square root of 11 and i

OpenStudy (sriram):

4 roots in all

myininaya (myininaya):

yep
