f ( x ) = ( x 2 + A ) ( x 2 + B )
If B − A = 4 5 6 , find a real root for f ( x ) that satisfies the relation below, where C is a real, arbitrary constant.

x = ( 1 + i ) 4 2 3 x 2 + C
Raising both sides to fourth power (Also note ( 1 + i ) 4 = ( ( 1 + i ) 2 ) 2 = ( 2 i ) 2 = − 4 ):-
x 4 = ( − 4 ) ( 2 3 x 2 + C )
⟹ x 4 + 6 x 2 + 4 C = 0
Comparing it with ( x 2 + A ) ( x 2 + B ) = 0 , we get A + B = 6 , solving it with B − A = 4 5 6 by adding and subtracting them respectively we get B = 2 3 1 , A = − 2 2 5 . Also by comparison we get 4 C = A B = − ( 2 2 5 ) ( 2 3 1 ) . Hence the equation is:
x 2 + 6 x − ( 2 2 5 ) ( 2 3 1 ) = 0
⟹ ( x 2 + 3 ) 2 = 9 + ( 2 2 8 − 3 ) ( 2 2 8 + 3 ) ( 2 2 5 ) ( 2 3 1 )
⟹ ( x 2 + 3 ) 2 = 9 + ( 2 2 8 2 − 9 ) = 2 2 8 2
⟹ x 2 + 3 = 2 2 8
⟹ x 2 = 2 2 5 ⟹ x = 1 5 ( ∗ ∗ )
( ( ∗ ∗ ) x = − 1 5 doesn't satisfy x = ( 1 + i ) 4 2 3 x 2 + 4 − ( 2 2 5 ) ( 2 3 1 ) C )
