x(1 + -1x4) = 0

Factor a difference between two squares.
x((1 + x2)(1 + -1x2)) = 0

Factor a difference between two squares.
x((1 + x2)((1 + x)(1 + -1x))) = 0

Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'x' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying x = 0 Solving x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying x = 0

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(1 + x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 1 + x2 = 0 Solving 1 + x2 = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + x2 = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + x2 = 0 + -1 x2 = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 x2 = -1 Simplifying x2 = -1 The solution to this equation could not be determined. This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.

Subproblem 3

Set the factor '(1 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 1 + x = 0 Solving 1 + x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + x = 0 + -1 x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 x = -1 Simplifying x = -1

Subproblem 4

Set the factor '(1 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 1 + -1x = 0 Solving 1 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + -1x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -1 -1x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 -1x = -1 Divide each side by '-1'. x = 1 Simplifying x = 1

Solution

x = {0, -1, 1}
