Solve the inequality :(

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

\[x^4-32x^2-144>0\]

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

I don't even know where to start..

OpenStudy (loser66):

let t = x^2 to take it down

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

Is that substituting?

OpenStudy (loser66):

yup

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

What do we do with it? :s

OpenStudy (loser66):

do it first and I guide you more.

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

\[t^2-3xt-144>0\]

OpenStudy (loser66):

t^2 -32t -144 >0

OpenStudy (melissa_something):

Oh yeah typo

OpenStudy (loser66):

ok, now solve for quadratic to get t

OpenStudy (melissa_something):
