u^4w^4-w^4=0

Solution for u^4w^4-w^4=0 equation:

Simplifying
u4w4 + -1w4 = 0

Solving
u4w4 + -1w4 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.

Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add 'w4' to each side of the equation.
u4w4 + -1w4 + w4 = 0 + w4

Combine like terms: -1w4 + w4 = 0
u4w4 + 0 = 0 + w4
u4w4 = 0 + w4
Remove the zero:
u4w4 = w4

Divide each side by 'w4'.
u4 = 1

Simplifying
u4 = 1

Reorder the terms:
-1 + u4 = 1 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
-1 + u4 = 0

Factor a difference between two squares.
(1 + u2)(-1 + u2) = 0

Factor a difference between two squares.
(1 + u2)((1 + u)(-1 + u)) = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(1 + u2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + u2 = 0

Solving
1 + u2 = 0
