a: Khi m=4 thì phương trình trở thành \(x^2-4x+3=0\)
=>(x-3)*(x-1)=0
=>x=3 hoặc x=1
b: \(x_1+x_2=m\)
\(x_1x_2=m-1\)
\(x_1^2+x_2^2=\left(x_1+x_2\right)^2-2x_1x_2=m^2-2\left(m-1\right)=m^2-2m+2\)
\(x_1^4+x_2^4=\left(x_1^2+x_2^2\right)^2-2\left(x_1x_2\right)^2\)
\(=\left(m^2-2m+2\right)^2-2\cdot\left(m-1\right)^2\)
\(=m^4+4m^2+4-4m^3+4m^2-8m-2m^2+4m-2\)
\(=m^4-4m^3+2m^2-4m+2\)
