Identify all multiple roots.
\n" ); document.write( "(x^2-3)^2+(x^2-3)-2=0
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Substitution: Let w = x^2-3
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
\n" ); document.write( "You get: w^2 + w -2 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Factor to get:
\n" ); document.write( "(w+2)(w-1) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "w = -2 or w = 1
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "If w = -2, then
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-3 = -2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1 or -1
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "If w = 1, then
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-3 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 4
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 or x = -2
\n" ); document.write( "=====================
