Solve the equation 2x^4-3x^3-9x^2+15x-5=0.

We have to solve the equation:
2x^4-3x^3-9x^2+15x-5=0


2x^4-3x^3-9x^2+15x-5=0


=>
2x^4 - 2x^3 - x^3 + x^2 - 10x^2 + 10x + 5x - 5 =
0


=> 2x^3(x -1) - x^2(x - 1) - 10x(x - 1) + 5(x - 1)
= 0


=> (2x^3 - x^2 - 10x + 5)(x - 1) =
0


=> (x^2( 2x - 1) - 5(2x - 1))(x - 1) =
0


=> (x^2 - 5)(2x - 1)(x - 1) =
0


x - 1 = 0


=> x =
1


2x - 1 = 0


=> x =
1/2


x^2 - 5 = 0


=> x^2
= 5


=> x = sqrt 5 and -sqrt
5


The solution of the equation are {1/2, 1,
sqrt 5, -sqrt 5}
