Hope it helps...
Have a great day!!
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference of squares: a² - b² factors to (a - b) (a + b)
Let x⁴ = (x²)²
Let 16 = 4²
Now by difference of squares x⁴ - 16 factors as (x² - 4)(x² + 4)
The front factor, (x² - 4), can factor by difference of squares again as (x - 2)(x + 2)
