Solve $$z^4+2\left(a^2-b^2\right)z^2+\left(a^2+b^2\right)^2=0$$ where $a,b$ are real numbers.
Hint 1 : Put $w=z^2$ and find $w$ first. Then for each $w$, solve $z^2=w$.
Hint 2: see other posts on this label.
Answer: $z=\pm (a+ib), \pm (a-ib)$
This blog started in 2023 while I was teaching first-year university mathematics at UNSW (1131 and 1231). It contains a wide range of explanations, notes, and resources covering tertiary-level mathematics topics. The easiest ways to navigate are by using the search bar or browsing through the labels/tags. If you find my content helpful and would like to support my work, a coffee donation is greatly appreciated — thank you!
