Factoring a 4th order polynomial
Example:
[itex](jw)^{3}+6(jw)^{2}+5jw+30=0[/itex] can be re-written into [itex]6(5-w^{2})+jw(5-w^{2})[/itex]. The fact that there are two identical [itex](5-w^{2})[/itex] is a desirable outcome. Imaginary number [itex]j=\sqrt{-1}[/itex] becomes -1 when raised to the power of 2.
The problem is to transform [itex] (jw)^{4}+7(jw)^{3}+59(jw)^2+98(jw)+630=0 [/itex] in a similar manner.
So far I have been unsuccessful.
[itex]w^{4}-7jw^{3}-59w^{2}+98jw+630=0[/itex]
[itex](w^{4}-59w^{2})+7(-jw^{3}+14jw+90)=0[/itex]
