How did it get from "x" to "x^4"?

You asked this before, and I answered, but you decided to close the question and start a new one.
First, are you sure the exponent of x is 1 as shown?
Second, you wrote: (x - 4^8 ). Why are there parentheses around the expression? Are the parentheses properly paced?
Third, please check with the original problem and correct your post. You can take a picture and post it, or you can use the equation editor or the draw tool.
