Answer:
- Rewrite it in the form a^2-b^2, where a=x^2 and b=4.
- (x^2)^2 - 4^2
- Use difference of squares.
- (x^2 +4)(x^2 −4)
- Rewrite {x}^{2}-4x2 −4 in the form {a}^{2}-{b}^{2}a2 −b2, where a=xa=x and b=2b=2.
- (x^2 +4)(x^2 −2^2)
- Use difference of squares
- (x^2 +4) (x+2) (x-2)
Done.
Answer:
The correct answer is,
x⁴ - 16 = (x² + 4)(x + 2)(x - 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Identity
(x² - y²) = (x + y)(x - y)
To rewrite x⁴ - 16
Using identity we can write,
x⁴ - 16 = [(x²)² - 4²]
= (x² + 4)(x² - 4)
= (x² + 4)(x - 2²)
= (x² + 4)(x + 2)(x - 2)
Therefore x⁴ - 16 = (x² + 4)(x + 2)(x - 2)
