Let , then .

Substitute:



The quadratic factors:


Therefore
 or 

But  so

 or 

Therefore






Giving us the 4 expected roots for the quartic (degree 4) equation.

Since the roots are all complex, there are no real zeros for this equation,
therefore the graph will not intercept the x-axis anywhere.
