Find the real or imaginary solutions of the equation by factoring:

x^4 - 10x^2 + 16 = 0

Answer 1

use the quadratic equation

Answer 2

If you factor you will get \( \left(-8+x^2\right) \left(-2+x^2\right) \)

Answer 3

would I have to use it with every polynomial that begins with a degree of 4?

Answer 4

or factor :)

Answer 5

\[u=x^2\]

Answer 6

Right, I have issues with those problems that begin with x4.

Answer 7

x^4*

Answer 8

all 4 solutions are real

Answer 9

oppps! mea culpa :(

Answer 10

\( \left(x^2-8\right) \left(x^2-2\right) \implies x = \pm \sqrt 2 , \pm 2\sqrt{2} \)

Answer 11

Sweet, thanks!
