How to get this into standard form of a polynomial?

OpenStudy (asapbleh):

\[x ^{4}-3^{4}\]

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the only thing you can do really is turn 3^4 into 81 since 3^4 = 3*3*3*3 = 81

OpenStudy (asapbleh):

i mean in unfactored form.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah so that gives you x^4 - 81

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

which isn't factored

OpenStudy (asapbleh):

ok, the form i want it to be in is : \[^{4}+2x ^{3}+x+1\]. this is just an example

OpenStudy (asapbleh):

theres supposed to be an x before the superscript 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is a polynomial... if you reduce \(3^4=81\) we're left with just \(x^4-81\), a perfectly fine monic quartic binomial.

OpenStudy (asapbleh):

ok, so if it asks u to find all rational, irrational, and complex zeros of it, how do i do that?
