Show all work to factor x^4 - 5x^2 + 4 completely​

Answered by maham237 @



Answer:

(x+1) (x-1) (x+2) (x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

let u=x^2

=u^2-5u+4

break groups into extensions; (u^2-u) + (-4u+4)

factor out -4 from -4u+4; u(u-1)-4(u-1)

factor out common term u-1; (u-1) (u-4)

substitute back u=x^2; =(x^2-1) (x^2-4)

factor x^2-1; (x+1) (x-1) (x^2-4)

factor x^2-4; (x+1) (x-1) (x+2) (x-2)
