Q. We want to factor the following expression:\newlinex4+9 x^{4}+9 \newlineWhich pattern can we use to factor the expression?\newlineU U and V V are either constant integers or single-variable expressions.\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) (U+V)2 (U+V)^{2} or (UV)2 (U-V)^{2} \newline(B) (U+V)(UV) (U+V)(U-V) \newline(C) We can't use any of the patterns.
  1. Step 11: Determine Factoring Pattern: The expression x4+9x^{4}+9 is a sum of two terms, where one term is xx raised to the fourth power and the other term is a constant 99. We need to determine if there is a factoring pattern that applies to this expression.
  2. Step 22: Evaluate Option (A): Option (A) suggests using the square of a binomial pattern, either (U+V)2(U+V)^{2} or (UV)2(U-V)^{2}. However, these patterns expand to U2+2UV+V2U^{2} + 2UV + V^{2} and U22UV+V2U^{2} - 2UV + V^{2}, respectively. Neither of these patterns match the given expression x4+9x^{4}+9 because there is no middle term in the expression x4+9x^{4}+9.
  3. Step 33: Evaluate Option (B): Option (B) suggests using the difference of squares pattern, (U+V)(UV)(U+V)(U-V), which expands to U2V2U^2 - V^2. This pattern also does not apply because we have a sum, not a difference, and the expression x4+9x^{4}+9 does not represent a difference of squares.
  4. Step 44: Evaluate Option (C): Option (C) states that we can't use any of the patterns. Since neither the square of a binomial pattern nor the difference of squares pattern applies to the expression x4+9x^{4}+9, and there are no other common factoring patterns for a sum of a fourth power and a constant, we conclude that the expression x4+9x^{4}+9 cannot be factored using standard algebraic patterns over the real numbers.
