Can anyone help me factor 4y-x^4+1? No, it does not equal 0.

Are you sure you wrote the problem correctly? You can't factor this, normally you factor when all variables are the same.
and since you stated not equal to 0 you can't solve for a variable unless you set it to 0 and solve for y
like 4y -x^4 + 1 = 0
4y = x^4 - 1
y = (X^4 - 1)/4
y = ( (X^2 - 1) (X^2 + 1) )/4
other than that
Make sure you problem is correct
if the problem was something like
4X - X^4 +1
-X^4 + 4X + 1
Then probably the quadratic formula or complete the square

y= negative 1/4
x= negative 1
so
(4*-1/4)+(1^4)+1=0
You have to put a zero on the end to solve the eqaution in the begining. That's why people said =0
