Question Number 42776 by Tawa1 last updated on 02/Sep/18
Solve: q^4 − 40q^2 + q + 384 = 0
$$\mathrm{Solve}:\:\:\:\:\:\mathrm{q}^{\mathrm{4}} \:−\:\mathrm{40q}^{\mathrm{2}} \:+\:\mathrm{q}\:+\:\mathrm{384}\:=\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$

I found no useable exact solution q_1 ≈−4.95762 q_2 ≈−3.94137 q_3 ≈4.06764 q_4 ≈4.83135
$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{found}\:\mathrm{no}\:\mathrm{useable}\:\mathrm{exact}\:\mathrm{solution} \\ $$$${q}_{\mathrm{1}} \approx−\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{95762} \\ $$$${q}_{\mathrm{2}} \approx−\mathrm{3}.\mathrm{94137} \\ $$$${q}_{\mathrm{3}} \approx\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{06764} \\ $$$${q}_{\mathrm{4}} \approx\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{83135} \\ $$

I always try to find the number of real zeros first draw the function or just use a calculator to get some values in this case we have 4 real solutions try all factors of the constant 384=2^7 ×3 so we have to try ±{1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192, 384} sadly none of these fit we can try to put q^4 −40q^2 +q+384=(q−α−(√β))(q−α+(√β))(q−γ−(√δ))(q−γ+(√δ)) or q^4 −40q^2 +q+384= =(q−α−(√β)−(√γ)−(√δ))(q−α−(√β)+(√γ)+(√δ))(q−α+(√β)−(√γ)+(√δ))(q−α+(√β)+(√γ)−(√δ)) and solve for α, β, γ, δ but in this case both didn′t work, which means the solutions can be found but they′re too complex to work with so we have to approximate (use a calculator or you might get mad)

Sir, if you still have chance help me to send the breakdown of the reduction of polynomial
