Question

how do you factor n(^4)-100?

Answer 1

would it be (n-25)^4?

Answer 2

No. It appears that you were thinking of the distributive property and factored out a 4.

That is not what is going on here.

Answer 3

N to the fourth power - 100 is the difference of two squares.

Use that factoring pattern.

Answer 4

To help you get started, consider n^4 - 100 as (n^2)^2 - (10)^2. Apply the factoring pattern.

Post what you get, okay? @soulflower
