factor it.
(x^2 - 3)(x^2 - 1) = 0
Use zero property law:
(x^2 - 3) = 0
x = ±√3
(x^2 - 1) = 0
x = ± 1
(x^2 - 3)(x^2 - 1) = 0
Use zero property law:

let w = x^2
x^4 - 4x^2 + 3 = 0 becomes
w^2 - 4w + 3 = 0 --> when you are done factoring, replace w with x^2 and see if you can factor it further
x^4 - 4x^2 + 3 = 0 becomes
w^2 - 4w + 3 = 0 --> when you are done factoring, replace w with x^2 and see if you can factor it further

Let x^2 = u
u^2 - 4u + 3 = 0
(u - 1)(u - 3) = 0
u = 1, 3
x^2 = 1, 3
x = -1, 1, -√3, √3
u^2 - 4u + 3 = 0
(u - 1)(u - 3) = 0
u = 1, 3
x^2 = 1, 3
x = -1, 1, -√3, √3
