2 the coefficient of the squared term: 

Divide each side by '2'.
-0.8 + -3.8x2 + x4 = 0

Move the constant term to the right:

Add '0.8' to each side of the equation.
-0.8 + -3.8x2 + 0.8 + x4 = 0 + 0.8

Reorder the terms:
-0.8 + 0.8 + -3.8x2 + x4 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: -0.8 + 0.8 = 0.0
0.0 + -3.8x2 + x4 = 0 + 0.8
-3.8x2 + x4 = 0 + 0.8

Combine like terms: 0 + 0.8 = 0.8
-3.8x2 + x4 = 0.8

-3.8x2 + 3.61 + x4 = 0.8 + 3.61

Reorder the terms:
3.61 + -3.8x2 + x4 = 0.8 + 3.61

Combine like terms: 0.8 + 3.61 = 4.41
3.61 + -3.8x2 + x4 = 4.41

Factor a perfect square on the left side:
(x2 + -1.9)(x2 + -1.9) = 4.41

Calculate the square root of the right side: 2.1

Break this problem into two subproblems by setting 
(x2 + -1.9) equal to 2.1 and -2.1.

Subproblem 1

x2 + -1.9 = 2.1 Simplifying x2 + -1.9 = 2.1 Reorder the terms: -1.9 + x2 = 2.1 Solving -1.9 + x2 = 2.1 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.9' to each side of the equation. -1.9 + 1.9 + x2 = 2.1 + 1.9 Combine like terms: -1.9 + 1.9 = 0.0 0.0 + x2 = 2.1 + 1.9 x2 = 2.1 + 1.9 Combine like terms: 2.1 + 1.9 = 4 x2 = 4 Simplifying x2 = 4 Take the square root of each side: x = {-2, 2}

Subproblem 2

x2 + -1.9 = -2.1 Simplifying x2 + -1.9 = -2.1 Reorder the terms: -1.9 + x2 = -2.1 Solving -1.9 + x2 = -2.1 Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '1.9' to each side of the equation. -1.9 + 1.9 + x2 = -2.1 + 1.9 Combine like terms: -1.9 + 1.9 = 0.0 0.0 + x2 = -2.1 + 1.9 x2 = -2.1 + 1.9 Combine like terms: -2.1 + 1.9 = -0.2 x2 = -0.2 Simplifying x2 = -0.2 Reorder the terms: 0.2 + x2 = -0.2 + 0.2 Combine like terms: -0.2 + 0.2 = 0.0 0.2 + x2 = 0.0 The solution to this equation could not be determined.This subproblem is being ignored because a solution could not be determined.
