(x+1)^(1/2) +(x^2 −1)^(1/3) =4  (x^2 −1)^(1/3) =4−(x+1)^(1/2)   both sides^3   x^2 −1=12x+76−(x+49)(√(x+1))  77+12x−x^2 =(x+49)(√(x+1))  both sides^2  [we will get some false solutions]  x^4 −25x^3 −109x^2 −651x+3528=0  trying factors if 3528 ⇒ x_1 =3  looking at the graph of f(x)=(x+1)^(1/2) +(x^2 −1)^(1/3) −4  we see it′s the only real solution  if you need complex solutions you must solve  (x−3)(x^3 −22x^2 −175x−1176)=0  using Cardano′s formula
