x^1/2-3x^1/4+2=0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "[x^(1/4)]^2 - 3x^(1/4) + 2 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Let w = x^(1/4)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "w^2 - 3w + 2 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Factor:
\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( "x^(1/4) = 2 or x^(1/4) = 1
\n" ); document.write( "x = 16 or x = 1
