First, let's expand out everything. I'm not going to show the steps, but we eventually get

2z432z3+204z2608z+706=82z432z3+204z2608z+714=0

 

Now, since every number is divisible by 2, we get factor out 2 to get

2(z416z3+102z2304z+357)=0

 

Now, note that z416z3+102z2304z+357=(z28z+17)(z28z+21)

 

This means that we have the equation

2(z28z+17)(z28z+21)=0

 

Since the equation is equal to 0, we get two equations. We have

z28z+17=0,z28z+21=0

 

Using the quadratic equation on both formulas, we find 4 values of z. 

We have

z=4+iz=4iz=4+5(i)z=4+5(i)

 

This was a very basic explenation of the problem. 

I can go in dephth more if you want to. 

 

Thanks! :)
