Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
2−x4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x4=0−2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x4=−2
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
x4=2
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±42
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=42x=−42
x=0x=42x=−42
