Find all real solutions of the given equation:
(x^2 - x)^2 - 63(x^2-x) - 648 = 0
---
Let w = x^2-x
---
Your problem:
w^2 - 63w - 648 = 0
Factor:
(w+9)(w-72) = 0
w = -9 or w = 72
----
Solve for "w":
If w = -9 you get:
x^2-x = -9
x^2-x+9 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to solve.
--------------
If w = 72
x^2-x 72
x^2-x-72 = 0
Factor:
(x-9)(x+8) - 0
x = 9 or x = -8

Check my arithmetic, because I'm error prone, and sometimes my + and - sihgn magically inerconvert.
I would start by doing a variable change by defining

Then the equation is really

The solutions are and
Then you would have
, with two real solutions
and
and also
that would lead you to two other complex solutions
