Then factor:

(u - 4)(u -1) = 0

u = 4 or u = 1
x² = 4 or x² = 1
x = ±2 or x = ±1

(x² - 4)(x² - 1) = 0
x² = 4 , x² = 1
x = ± 2 , x = ± 1

x^4 - 5x^2 + 4 = 0
(x^2 - 4)(x^2 - 1) = 0
(x + 2)(x - 2)(x + 1)(x - 1) = 0

x + 2 = 0
x = -2

x - 2 = 0
x = 2

x + 1 = 0
x = -1

x - 1 = 0
x = 1

∴ x = ±2 , ±1

now that u = x^2 ....

u^2 - 5u +4 = 0
(u-4) (u-1) = 0 [u=4][u=1]

if u=x^2 = 4 .....u= -+ 2
if u=x^2 = 1 ... u= +- 1
