Mathway - Algebra Problem Solver

The document presents the steps to solve the quadratic equation 4x^2 - 6209.36x + 3524699.51 = 0. It first rewrites the equation in terms of u = x^2, then uses the quadratic formula to find the solutions for u. Taking the square roots of these solutions gives the four solutions for x: √5577.39882598, -√5577.39882598, √631.96117401, -√631.96117401.
