Solution for 0.5*m^4+3.5*m^2+3=0 equation:


Simplifying
0.5m4 + 3.5m2 + 3 = 0

Reorder the terms:
3 + 3.5m2 + 0.5m4 = 0

Solving
3 + 3.5m2 + 0.5m4 = 0

Solving for variable 'm'.

Begin completing the square.  Divide all terms by
0.5 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '0.5'.
6 + 7m2 + m4 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + 7m2 + -6 + m4 = 0 + -6

Reorder the terms:
6 + -6 + 7m2 + m4 = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + 7m2 + m4 = 0 + -6
7m2 + m4 = 0 + -6

Combine like terms: 0 + -6 = -6
7m2 + m4 = -6

The m term is 7m2.  Take half its coefficient (3.5).
Square it (12.25) and add it to both sides.

Add '12.25' to each side of the equation.
7m2 + 12.25 + m4 = -6 + 12.25

Reorder the terms:
12.25 + 7m2 + m4 = -6 + 12.25

Combine like terms: -6 + 12.25 = 6.25
12.25 + 7m2 + m4 = 6.25

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(m2 + 3.5)(m2 + 3.5) = 6.25

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.5

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(m2 + 3.5) equal to 2.5 and -2.5.

Subproblem 1

m2 + 3.5 = 2.5 Simplifying m2 + 3.5 = 2.5 Reorder the terms: 3.5 + m2 = 2.5 Solving 3.5 + m2 = 2.5 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3.5' to each side of the equation. 3.5 + -3.5 + m2 = 2.5 + -3.5 Combine like terms: 3.5 + -3.5 = 0.0 0.0 + m2 = 2.5 + -3.5 m2 = 2.5 + -3.5 Combine like terms: 2.5 + -3.5 = -1 m2 = -1 Simplifying m2 = -1 Reorder the terms: 1 + m2 = -1 + 1 Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0 1 + m2 = 0 The solution to this equation could not be determined.This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.

Subproblem 2

m2 + 3.5 = -2.5 Simplifying m2 + 3.5 = -2.5 Reorder the terms: 3.5 + m2 = -2.5 Solving 3.5 + m2 = -2.5 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3.5' to each side of the equation. 3.5 + -3.5 + m2 = -2.5 + -3.5 Combine like terms: 3.5 + -3.5 = 0.0 0.0 + m2 = -2.5 + -3.5 m2 = -2.5 + -3.5 Combine like terms: -2.5 + -3.5 = -6 m2 = -6 Simplifying m2 = -6 Reorder the terms: 6 + m2 = -6 + 6 Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0 6 + m2 = 0 The solution to this equation could not be determined.This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined. The solution to this equation could not be determined.
