x^2 + 5|x| + 4 =0

x>=0
|x|=x

x^2 + 5x +4 =0
(x+4)(x+1) =0

x=-4,-1   not possible because we took x>=0

if x<0
|x|=-x
x^2 -5x + 4 =0
(x-4)(x-1)=0
x=1,4 , not possible because we took x<0

so no real roots


The heights which great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, They, whilst their companions slept, Were toiling upwards in the night....
