Best Answer

Equations of the form z^4+az^2+a_0 are known as biquadratic equations. They are quartic equations. In general they can be solved by reducing them to a quadratic equation where x=z^2 is the variable. Then you can use the quadratic formula or factor. So plugging in x to the biquadratic giives us x^2+ax+a_0.

What is quartic and biquadratic?

A quartic is a polynomial of degree 4, meaning the highest exponent is 4. Biquadratic can mean the same thing, but most mathematicians use the term biquadratic to refer to an equation of degree 4 with no odd powers. So for example we cannot have an x3 term. An example of a biquadratic is: x4 +x2 + 22=0

Can you solve for a variable in an equation?

Sure. You can always 'solve for' a variable, and if it happens to be the only variable in the equation, than that's how you solve the equation.

How do you solve integers?

There is no such thing as "solving integers". You can solve an equation, which means finding all the unknowns in that equation, but you can't solve an integer.
