.
\n" ); document.write( "Let y=x^2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2x^4+5x^2=207 . Replace x^2 with y.
\n" ); document.write( "2y^2+5y-207=0
\n" ); document.write( "(y-9)(2y+23)=0
\n" ); document.write( "y-9=0 . or . 2y+23=0
\n" ); document.write( "y=9 . or . 2y=-23
\n" ); document.write( "y=9 . or . y=-23/2 . Replace y with x^2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2=9 . or . x^2=-23/2
\n" ); document.write( "x=+/- 3 . or x=+/-\"sqrt%2823%2F2%29\"i=+/-\"%28sqrt%2846%29%2F2%29i\" \r
