Question
Solve the equation
t∈/R
Alternative Form
No real solution
Evaluate
t2−4t4=7
Move the expression to the left side
t2−4t4−7=0
Solve the equation using substitution v=t2
v−4v2−7=0
Rewrite in standard form
−4v2+v−7=0
Multiply both sides
4v2−v+7=0
Substitute a=4,b=−1 and c=7 into the quadratic formula v=2a−b±b2−4ac
v=2×41±(−1)2−4×4×7
Simplify the expression
v=81±(−1)2−4×4×7
