_______
x4 + 4x2 + 4 = 0

The equation looks like (4x)/(x^4+4x^2)+4=0
rendered as .

And the numerator is now what is important to equate to 0.

The degree three factor has no apparent rational roots, as checked with Rational
Roots Theorem and synthetic division. There is a root of 0 for the factor x.

The rational term in the original equation can be negative. because that value will make the
denominator become 0, not allowed.

~~NO SOLUTION~~
