3x^2 - 4 = -x^4 add x^4 to both sides
x^4 + 3x^2 - 4 = 0 factor as
(x^2 + 4) (x^2 - 1) = 0
(x^2 + 4) (x + 1) ( x-1) = 0
Setting the last two factors to 0 and solving for x produces x = -1 and x = 1
Settting the first factor to 0, we have
x^2 +4 = 0 subtract 4 from both sides
x^2 = -4 take both roots
x = ±√-4 = ±2i
So the solutions are 1, -1, 2i, 2i
(s + 4v)^5 =
