First, expand the square of (x^2-3):
(x^2-3)^2 = x^4 - 6x^2 + 9
Now rewrite the equation with the expanded expression:x^4 - 6x^2 + 9 + x^2 - 3 = 2
Combine like terms:x^4 - 5x^2 + 6 = 2
Subtract 2 from both sides:x^4 - 5x^2 + 4 = 0
Now, let y = x^2:y^2 - 5y + 4 = 0
Factor the quadratic equation:(y - 4)(y - 1) = 0y = 4 or y = 1
Since y = x^2, solve for x:x^2 = 4 or x^2 = 1
x = 2, x = -2, x = 1, or x = -1
Therefore, the solutions are x = 2, x = -2, x = 1, or x = -1.
