hero · Answer

Are you supposed to just factor it?

anonymous · Answer

not sure
i want to understand what this question is exactly asking =/

anonymous · Answer

From Mathematica:$$\left(x^4-10 x^2+1\right) \left(x^4+10 x^2+1\right) $$

anonymous · Answer

thats for factoring but do you know what does non-constant polynomials with integral coefficients mean?
