OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[4x^4 -64?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u need to find the factor give out 64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hint: ?(x-?)(x+?)(x^2+?)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?(x-?)(x+?)(x^2+?) ?(x^4-?)= 4x^4+64 u know that 4 is multiple by 4^?=64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the power of something

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

4x^4-64 Have you observed the common factor of 4? \(4(x^{4} - 16)\) You might then have observed the Difference of Squares. \(4(x^{2} + 4)(x^{2} - 4)\) You might then have observed the NEW Difference of Squares. Show it, please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 16?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

almost there but u need to give out the exact factorial of 4x^4-64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tkhunny got the answer but u show how he/she got that factor

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

We are factoring. The 'x's don't magically disappear. FACTOR! I left you one step. Factor \(x^{2}-4\) Go!
