    Solve for x over the real numbers:4 x^4 - 37 x^2 + 9 = 0

    Substitute y = x^2:4 y^2 - 37 y + 9 = 0

    The left hand side factors into a product with two terms: (y - 9) (4 y - 1) = 0

    Split into two equations:y - 9 = 0 or 4 y - 1 = 0

    Add 9 to both sides:y = 9 or 4 y - 1 = 0

    Substitute back for y = x^2:x^2 = 9 or 4 y - 1 = 0

    Take the square root of both sides:x = 3 or x = - 3 or 4 y - 1 = 0

    Add 1 to both sides:x = 3 or x = - 3 or 4 y = 1

    Divide both sides by 4:x = 3 or x = - 3 or y = 1/4

    Substitute back for y = x^2:x = 3 or x = - 3 or x^2 = 1/4

    Take the square root of both sides:Answer (s) : x = 3 or x = - 3 or x = 1/2 or x = - 1/2
