$$\Rightarrow\frac{{x}\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}}+{x}}{\:\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}}}=\frac{\mathrm{35}}{\mathrm{12}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{12}{x}\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}}+\mathrm{12}{x}=\mathrm{35}\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{12}{x}=\left(\mathrm{35}−\mathrm{12}{x}\right)\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{144}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} =\left(\mathrm{1225}+\mathrm{144}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{840}{x}\right)\left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{144}{x}^{\mathrm{4}} −\mathrm{840}{x}^{\mathrm{3}} +\mathrm{1225}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{840}{x}+\mathrm{1225}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${its}\:{a}\:{biquadratic}\:{equation},\:{how}\:{to}\:{solve}\:{it}? \\ $$
