x^4 −23x^2 +18x+40=0 solve for x.
$${x}^{\mathrm{4}} −\mathrm{23}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{18}{x}+\mathrm{40}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${solve}\:{for}\:{x}. \\ $$

generally if x^4 +ax^2 +bx+c=0 x^2 −px+(1/2)(p^2 +a+(b/p))=0 where p^2 is found from p^6 +2ap^4 +(a^2 −4c)p^2 −b^2 =0 __________________________ In this example a=−23 , b=18, c=40 (p^2 )^3 −46(p^2 )^2 +369(p^2 )−324=0 ⇒ p^2 = 1, 9, 36 x^2 −px+(1/2)(p^2 −23+((18)/p))=0 for p^2 =1_(−) x^2 ±x−11∓9=0 ⇒ x^2 +x−20=0 & x^2 −x−2=0 ⇒ x= 4,−5 & x= −1, 2 for p^2 =9_(−) x^2 ±3x−7∓3=0 ⇒ x^2 +3x−10=0 & x^2 −3x−4=0 ⇒ x= 2,−5 & x= −1, 4 And for p^2 =36_(−) x^2 ±6x+((13)/2)∓(3/2)=0 ⇒ x^2 +6x+5=0 & x^2 −6x+8=0 ⇒ x= −1, −5 & x= 2, 4 __________________________.
