The zeroes of the equation 4i,-4i,5,-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:


-3x^4+27x^2+1200=0

To Find:

The 0's of the equation=?

Solution:

We can write the equation by taking minus sign common from left hand side and the equation will become


3x^4-27 x^2-1200=0

Now, Let
x^2=t

And put the value of
x^2 in the above equation and then we will get


3t^2-27t-1200=0

Now take 3 common from left hand side of the equation So equation would become


t^2-9t-400=0


(x+16)(x-25)=0

hence the roots are t= -16 and 25

Now that we know the value(s) of t , we can calculate x since x is
√(t)

Since we are speaking 2nd root, each of the two imaginary solutions of has 2 roots


√(t)= x


x=\pm√(-16)

x=
\pm4i


x=\pm√(25)

x=
\pm5

Hence the roots are 4i,-4i,5,-5
