\(x^4+x^2-20=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^4-4x^2+5x^2-20=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^2\left(x^2-4\right)+5\left(x^2-4\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x^2-4\right)\left(x^2+5\right)=0\)
Dễ thấy \(x^2+5>0\Rightarrow x^2+5=0\left(loại\right)\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^2-4=0\Leftrightarrow\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x-2=0\\x+2=0\end{matrix}\right.\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=2\\x=-2\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x=\pm2\)
