Question
Factor the expression
(x2−4x+8)(x2+4x+8)
Evaluate
x4+64
Calculate
x4+4x3+8x2−4x3−16x2−32x+8x2+32x+64
Rewrite the expression
x2×x2+x2×4x+x2×8−4x×x2−4x×4x−4x×8+8x2+8×4x+8×8
Factor out x2 from the expression
x2(x2+4x+8)−4x×x2−4x×4x−4x×8+8x2+8×4x+8×8
Factor out −4x from the expression
x2(x2+4x+8)−4x(x2+4x+8)+8x2+8×4x+8×8
Factor out 8 from the expression
x2(x2+4x+8)−4x(x2+4x+8)+8(x2+4x+8)
Solution
(x2−4x+8)(x2+4x+8)

Find the roots
x1=−2−2i,x2=2+2i
Evaluate
x4+64
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
x4+64=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x4=0−64
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x4=−64
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±4−64
