exact solution too complicated, approximation  gives  x_1 ≈−5.14749386  x_2 ≈5.11487664  x_(3, 4) ≈.0163086079±2.08076764i

i guess the guy wanted to ask  x^4 −22x^2 +x+114=0  but made again a typo and wrote  x^4 −22x^2 +x−114=0.

I gave up guessing some time ago...

generally  x^4 +px^2 +qx+r=0  we try to find square factors  (x^2 −αx−β)(x^2 +αx−γ)=0  by matching the constant factors. this leads  to   { ((−(α^2 +β+γ)=p)),((α(γ−β)=q)),((βγ=r)) :}  solve the 1^(st)  for β and the 2^(nd)  for γ ⇒  β=−((α^3 +pα+q)/(2α))∧γ=−((α^3 +pα−q)/(2α))  inserting in the 3^(rd)  gives  ((α^6 +2pα^4 +p^2 α^2 −q^2 )/(4α^2 ))=r  α^6 +2pα^4 +(p^2 −4r)α^2 −q^2 =0  let α=(√u)  u^3 +2pu^2 +(p^2 −4r)u−q^2 =0  let u=v−((2p)/3)  v^3 −((p^2 +12r)/3)v−((2p^3 −72pr+27q^2 )/(27))=0  if this has at least one solution v_1 ∈Q it makes  insert backwards and exactly solve the given  equation. otherwise it′s better to approximate
