Question
The expression $x^4 + 4$ can be factorized as:
✓
Answer
$x^4 + 4$
$= x^4 + 4 + 4x^2 - 4x^2$
$= (x^4 + 4x^2 + 4) - 4x^2$
$= (x^2 + 2)^2 - (2x)^2$
$= (x^2 + 2 - 2x)(x^2 + 2 + 2x)$
$= (x^2 + 2x + 2)(x^2 - 2x + 2)$
$= x^4 + 4 + 4x^2 - 4x^2$
$= (x^4 + 4x^2 + 4) - 4x^2$
$= (x^2 + 2)^2 - (2x)^2$
$= (x^2 + 2 - 2x)(x^2 + 2 + 2x)$
$= (x^2 + 2x + 2)(x^2 - 2x + 2)$
