  Solve the equation     x^4 −2x^3 −5x^2 +10x−3=0

$$\:\:{Solve}\:{the}\:{equation}\: \\ $$$$\:\:{x}^{\mathrm{4}} −\mathrm{2}{x}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{5}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{10}{x}−\mathrm{3}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$

(x^2 +x−3)(x^2 −3x+1)=0  x=−(1/2)±((√(13))/2)∨x=(3/2)±((√5)/2)

$$\left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{x}−\mathrm{3}\right)\left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{3}{x}+\mathrm{1}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${x}=−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\pm\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{13}}}{\mathrm{2}}\vee{x}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\pm\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$

x^4 −2x^3 −5x^2 +10x−3=0  let x=t+(1/2)  t^4 −((13)/2)t^2 +4t+(9/(16))=0  (t^2 −at−b)(t^2 +at−c)=0  t^4 −(a^2 +b+c)t^2 +a(c−b)t+bc=0  now match the constants   { ((a^2 +b+c−((13)/2)=0)),((a(c−b)−4=0)),((bc−(9/(16))=0)) :}   { ((b=−((2a^3 −13a+8)/(4a)))),((c=−((2a^3 −13a−8)/(4a)))),((((a^6 −13a^4 +40a^2 −16)/(4a^2 ))=0)) :}  a^6 −13a^4 +40a^2 −16=0  select a “nice” solution of this  a=2  ⇒ b=(1/4)∧c=(9/4)  no insert backwards and it′s finished
