z^4 −3z^2 +1 = (√((4/(4−z^2 ))−1))   (1)  Let w = z^2   (1) : w^2 −3w+1 = (√((4/(4−w))−1))  ⇒ (∗) w^4 −6w^3 +11w^2 −6w+1 = (w/(4−w))  w^5 −10w^4 +35w^3 −50w^2 +26w−4 = 0    (w^5 −2w^4 )−8(w^4 −2w^3 )+19(w^3 −2w^2 )  −12(w^2 −2w)+2(w−2) = 0    w^4 (w−2)−8w^3 (w−2)+19w^2 (w−2)  −12w(w−2)+2(w−2) = 0    (w−2)(w^4 −8w^3 +19w^2 −12w+2) = 0  (w−2)(w^2 +pw+2)(w^2 +qw+1) = 0  By identification p = q = −4  (w−2)(w^2 −4w+2)(w^2 −4w+1) = 0  (w−2)(w−(2−(√2)))(w−(2+(√2))(w−(2−(√3)))(w−(2+(√3))) = 0    w = 2, w = 2±(√2), w = 2±(√3)    ⇒z = ±(√2), z = ±(√(2±(√2))), z = ±(√(2±(√3)))    (∗) Because of ⇒ we have to verify  each solution. ±(√2) and ±(√(2−(√2)))   are not good.    S = {±(√(2+(√2))), ±(√(2±(√3)))}
