Thiskind of equation is called biquadratic
equation.
This equation is reduced to a quadratic equation
when doing the substitution t^2 = x.
We'll re-write the
equation in x:
x^2 +10x - 11 =
0
We'll apply quadratic
formula:
x1 = [-10+
sqrt(100+44)]/2
x1 =
(-10+12)/2
x1 = 1
x2 =
(-10-12)/2
x2 = -11
But, we'll
have to find t1,t2,t3,t4.
t^2 =
x1
t^2 = 1
t1 = sqrt 1 and t2
= -sqrt 1
t1=1 and t2=-1
t^2 =
x2
t^2 = -11
z3 = i*sqrt11 and
z4 = -i*sqrt11
The solutions of the
biquadratic equation are real and complex: { -1 ; 1 } ; {-i*sqrt11 ;
i*sqrt11}.
