<s>[INST] Find roots of $x^4 -6x^3 + 12x^2 - 12 x + 4 = 0$ the original equation is:
$$(x^2 + 2)^2 -6x(x^2+2) + 8x^2=0.$$
cannot see how to go solving this. I tried following way to factorise:
$$(x^2+2)(x^2-6x+2) + 8x^2 = 0.$$
But this has no help to solve. 
Thank you people, but I need the thinking process, not the answer.
 [/INST] In the original version, let $y=x^2+2$. Then, we have $y^2-6xy+8x^2=0$, which gives us $(y-2x)(y-4x)=0$.
