the complete factored form of y^8-256 is??
This expression is the difference of two cubes. Use the formula.
y^8 - 256 can not be factorized further since there is no factor common of given expression
256 is a perfect square, not a cube. I have to agree with kushashwa.
thanks if u agree than give medal
(y-2)(y+2)(y^2+4)(y^4+16) are the factors
i am definitely sure my answer is correct
yes yes i understood that u r corret aryan very gud 1 medal from my side
thanks man
what is the fornula?
a differenece of squares is (y^2-b^2) = (y+b) (y-b) but in this case it's starting off w/ a squared square (y^4-b^4) so it's a difference of fourths (y^2+b^2) (y^2-b^2) but this second part breaks down to (y+b) (y-b) so it's (y^2+b^2) (y+b) (y-b) (y^2 + 16) (y^2 - 16) (y^2 + 16) (y + 4)(y- 4)
\[y^8-256=(y^4-16)(y^4+16)=(y^2-4)(y^2+4)(y^4+16)=\] \[=(y-2)(y+2)(y^2+4)(y^4+16)\]
\[(y-2)(y+2)(y^2+4)(y^4+16)=\] \[=(y-2)(y+2)(y^2+4)(y^2-2\sqrt{2}y+4)(y^2+2\sqrt{2}y+4)\]
oh my gosh. thank you so much.
