t^1/2 -2t^1/4 +1=0 find the real solutions
\n" ); document.write( "================
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = t^(1/4)
\n" ); document.write( "Then the equation becomes x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "This can be factored as (x-1)(x-1) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "The solution is x=1, which means t = x^4 = 1^4 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "So the solution is t=1 (multiplicity 2) \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
