TopicRoots of polynomials

1 The roots of the equation \(4 x ^ { 4 } - 2 x ^ { 3 } - 3 x + 2 = 0\) are \(\alpha , \beta , \gamma\) and \(\delta\). By using a suitable substitution, find a quartic equation whose roots are \(\alpha + 2 , \beta + 2 , \gamma + 2\) and \(\delta + 2\) giving your answer in the form \(a t ^ { 4 } + b t ^ { 3 } + c t ^ { 2 } + d t + e = 0\), where \(a , b , c , d\), and \(e\) are integers.
