The factored expression of x^4 - 8x^2 + 16 is  (x - 2)^2(x + 2)^2

How to factor the polynomial?

We have:

x^4 - 8x^2 + 16

Express -8x^2 as -4x^2 - 4x^2

x^4 --4x^2 - 4x^2 + 16

Factorize the expression

x^2(x^2 - 4) - 4(x^2 - 4)

Factor out x^2 - 4

(x^2 - 4)(x^2 - 4)

Express x^2 - 4 as difference of two squares

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

Factorize the expression

(x - 2)^2(x + 2)^2

Hence, the factored expression of x^4 - 8x^2 + 16 is  (x - 2)^2(x + 2)^2
