x^4=25

myininaya (myininaya):

We need to subtract 25 on both sides giving us \[x^4-25=0\] Now notice the left hand side is a difference of squares so it can be factored!

myininaya (myininaya):

\[(x^2-5)(x^2+5)=0\]

myininaya (myininaya):

Set both factors equal to 0 and solve both equations for x You will get two real solutions and 2 imaginary solutions
