    =15(x^4-2L^2 x^2+7/15 L^4)

    =15((x^4-2L^2 x^2+L^4) - L^4+7/15 L^4)

    =15((x^2-L^2)^2- 8/15 L^4)=0

    (x^2-L^2)^2=8/15L^4

    x^2-L^2=L^2*(8/15)^(1/2)

    x^2=L^2*(1+(8/15)^1/2)

    x=L(1+(8/15)^1/2)^1/2

    15(x^4)-30(L^2)(x^2)+7(L^4)=0

    0) We first note that L is not zero, otherwise x^4 = 0, a trivial case.

    1) Dividing both lhs and rhs by L^4 and letting y=x/L gives

    15y^4 - 30 y^2 + 7 = 0

    a quadratic equation in y^2.

    2) Solving for y^2 by completing squares (looking for rational factors seems far too difficult)

    3) Hence results for y...

    15x^4 - 30l^2x^2 + 7l^4 = 0

    x = 0

    l = 0
