Question
Factorise: $m^4- 256$

Answer

We know that, $\mathrm{m}^4=\left(\mathrm{m}^2\right)^2$
and $256=(16)^2$
Therefore, $\mathrm{m}^4-256=\left(\mathrm{m}^2\right)^2-(16)^2$
$=\left(m^2+16\right)\left(m^2-16\right)[$using identity $\left.a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)\right]$
$=\left(m^2+16\right)\left(m^2-4^2\right)$
$=\left(m^2+16\right)(m+4)(m-4)[$again, using identity $\left.a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)\right]$
