4x^{2}+9=50\left(x-2\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -2,-1,1,2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by \left(x-2\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right).
4x^{2}+9=\left(50x-100\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 50 by x-2.
4x^{2}+9=\left(50x^{2}-150x+100\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x+2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 50x-100 by x-1 and combine like terms.
4x^{2}+9=\left(50x^{3}-100x^{2}-50x+100\right)\left(x+2\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 50x^{2}-150x+100 by x+1 and combine like terms.
4x^{2}+9=50x^{4}-250x^{2}+200
Use the distributive property to multiply 50x^{3}-100x^{2}-50x+100 by x+2 and combine like terms.
4x^{2}+9-50x^{4}=-250x^{2}+200
Subtract 50x^{4} from both sides.
4x^{2}+9-50x^{4}+250x^{2}=200
Add 250x^{2} to both sides.
254x^{2}+9-50x^{4}=200
Combine 4x^{2} and 250x^{2} to get 254x^{2}.
254x^{2}+9-50x^{4}-200=0
Subtract 200 from both sides.
254x^{2}-191-50x^{4}=0
Subtract 200 from 9 to get -191.
-50t^{2}+254t-191=0
Substitute t for x^{2}.
t=\frac{-254±\sqrt{254^{2}-4\left(-50\right)\left(-191\right)}}{-50\times 2}
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. Substitute -50 for a, 254 for b, and -191 for c in the quadratic formula.
t=\frac{-254±6\sqrt{731}}{-100}
Do the calculations.
t=\frac{127-3\sqrt{731}}{50} t=\frac{3\sqrt{731}+127}{50}
Solve the equation t=\frac{-254±6\sqrt{731}}{-100} when ± is plus and when ± is minus.
x=\frac{\sqrt{254-6\sqrt{731}}}{10} x=-\frac{\sqrt{254-6\sqrt{731}}}{10} x=\frac{\sqrt{6\sqrt{731}+254}}{10} x=-\frac{\sqrt{6\sqrt{731}+254}}{10}
Since x=t^{2}, the solutions are obtained by evaluating x=±\sqrt{t} for each t.
