![Thank you so much MJS .However one of the major places I had issue in was in solving question (ii). Is there a way to solve such quartic equations? Please help me out with that. Thank you so much sir.](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q77077.png)

![in fact we can only try to find exact solutions (1) (x−a)(x−b)(x−c)(x−d)=x^4 +...+abcd ⇒ try all factors of ±the constant (2) try to find 2 square factors x^4 +ax^3 +bx^2 +cx+d=0; first let x=z−(a/4) leading to z^4 +pz^2 +qz+r=0 now try to find (z^2 −αz−β)(z^2 +αz−γ)=0 by solving the system for α, β, γ { ((p=−(α^2 +β+γ))),((q=α(γ−β))),((r=βγ)) :} starting with (i) γ=... and (ii) β=... this leads to (iii) a polynome of degree 3 for (α^2 ) which sometimes leads to a “nice” solution if not, this doesn′t help (3) some pokynomes of degree 4 can be solved using one of the following “models”. you have to expand and match the constants which leads to systems of 4 equations for α, β, γ, δ. again leading to polynomes of degree 3 for (α^2 ) or (γ^2 ) which might have “nice” solutions (x−α−(√β))(x−α+(√β))(x−γ−(√δ))(x−γ+(√δ))=0 (x−α−(√β)−(√γ)−(√δ))(x−α−(√β)+(√γ)+(√δ))(x−α+(√β)−(√γ)+(√δ))(x−α+(√β)+(√γ)−(√δ))=0 (x+α+(√β)+(√γ)+(√δ))(x+α+(√β)−(√γ)−(√δ))(x+α−(√β)+(√γ)−(√δ))(x+α−(√β)+>−(√γ)+(√δ))=0 if all these don′t work you can only approximate because Ferrari′s solution is always possible to find but never possible to handle](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q77100.png)
