e^4x-12e^2x+20=0
------
It's a quadratic in variable e^(2x):
-----
(e^(2x))^2 -12e^(2x) +20 = 0
-------
Factor:
(e^(2x))-10e^(2x)-2e^(2x) + 20 = 0
----
e^(2x)[e^(2x)-10] - 2[e^(2x)-10] = 0
----
(e^(2x)-10)(e^(2x)-2) = 0
----
e^(2x) = 10 or e^(2x) = 2
---
2x = ln(10) or 2x = ln(2)
-----
x = ln(10)/2 or x = ln(2)/2
---
x = ln(sqrt(10)) or x = ln(sqrt(2))
