Solve in R  x^2  + 4x = (√(40x^2  + 32x - 16))

$$\mathrm{Solve}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathbb{R} \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \:+\:\mathrm{4x}\:=\:\sqrt{\mathrm{40x}^{\mathrm{2}} \:+\:\mathrm{32x}\:-\:\mathrm{16}} \\ $$

 x(x+4)= (√(40x^2  + 32x + 16))  x^2 (x+4)^2 =40x^2  + 32x + 16  x^4 +8x^3 +16x^2 −40x^2  − 32x − 16=0  x^4 +8x^3 −24x^2  − 32x − 16=0  x=3.1850,−10.0814 (Using calculator)  You can see exact results in an  advanced calculator by yourself.  They′re too complicated!

x^2 +4x=(√(40x^2 +32x−16))  squaring & transforming  x^4 +8x^3 −24x^2 −32x+16=0  (x^2 +4(1−(√2))x−4)(x^2 +4(1+(√2))x−4)=0  of the 4 solutions 3 fit the given equation  x_1 =−2+2(√2)+2(√(4−2(√2)))  x_(2, 3) =−2−2(√2)±2(√(4+2(√2)))

yes. if the equation for a has only 1 real  solution (Cardano) or if it has 3 real solutions  of trigonometric shape we cannot use them.  we must hope for easy solutions ∈Q to be  found within the factors of ±n

the method I use:  x^4 +ax^3 +bx^2 +cx+d=0  let x=t−(a/4) to get  t^4 +pt^2 +qt+r=0  we want to find α, β, γ  to get  (t^2 −αt−β)(t^2 +αt−γ)=0  t^4 −(α^2 +β+γ)t^2 +α(γ−β)t+βγ=0  ⇒  { ((p=−(α^2 +β+γ))),((q=α(γ−β))),((r=βγ)) :}  solve the 1^(st)  & 2^(nd)  for β & γ  inserting in the 3^(rd)  & transforming we get  α^6 +jα^4 +kα^2 +l=0  let α=(√(a−(j/3))) to get  a^3 +ma+n=0  if this has an “easy to handle” solution we  succeed, otherwise the given equation has  no useable exact solution.
