Explanation:
The polynomial is of a biquadratic kind so, making
And equating the polynomial to zero we have
#Delta=-36-36=0#
#y=(-6+-0)/2# =>#y_1=y_2=-3#
Then
#x_(1,2)=sqrt(y_1)=sqrt(-3)# =>#x_1=i*sqrt(3)# ,#x_2=-i*sqrt(3)#
#x_(3,4)=sqrt(y_2)=sqrt(-3)# =>#x_3=i*sqrt(3)# ,#x_4=-i*sqrt(3)#
So
#x_1=x_3=i*sqrt(3)#
#x_2=x_4=-i*sqrt(3)#
