x=y4 /2
y4
Assuming the domain and range are suitably defined, then yes. If not, then no.
You cannot solve it since only one side of an equation is given. If the equation was y4 + 5y2 - 84 = 0 then y4 + 12y2 - 7y2 - 84 = 0 or y2*(y2 + 12) - 7*(y2 + 12) = 0 or (y2 - 7)*(y2 + 12) = 0 then y2 = 7 or y2 = - 12 y = +or- sqrt(7) and, if you are in the complex domain, also y = +or- i*sqrt(12) where i is the imaginary square root of -1.
(x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2 So x2 + y2 = (x + y)2 - 2xy = a2 - 2b Then (x2 + y2)2 = x4 + 2x2y2 + y4 So x4 + y4 = (x2 + y2)2 - 2x2y2 = (a2 - 2b)2 - 2b2 = a4 - 4a2b + 4b2 - 2b2 = a4 - 4a2b + 2b2
