Q. Factor completely:\newline2s87s4c4+5c8 2 s^{8}-7 s^{4} c^{4}+5 c^{8} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Recognize Quadratic Form: Recognize the polynomial as a quadratic in form. The given polynomial 2s87s4c4+5c82s^{8}-7s^{4}c^{4}+5c^{8} can be seen as a quadratic in terms of s4s^{4} where s4s^{4} is the variable and c4c^{4} is a constant.
  2. Substitute New Variable: Substitute s4s^{4} with a new variable to simplify the expression.\newlineLet's substitute s4s^{4} with a new variable, say 'uu'. So the expression becomes 2u27uc4+5c82u^2 - 7uc^4 + 5c^8.
  3. Factor Quadratic Expression: Factor the quadratic expression.\newlineNow we factor the quadratic expression 2u27uc4+5c82u^2 - 7uc^4 + 5c^8 as if it were a regular quadratic equation. We are looking for two numbers that multiply to 25c82\cdot5c^8 (which is 10c810c^8) and add up to 7c4-7c^4.
  4. Find Factors: Find the factors of the quadratic expression.\newlineThe two numbers that work are 2c4-2c^4 and 5c4-5c^4 because (2c4)×(5c4)=10c8(-2c^4)\times(-5c^4) = 10c^8 and (2c4)+(5c4)=7c4(-2c^4) + (-5c^4) = -7c^4. So we can write the quadratic as 2u22uc45uc4+5c82u^2 - 2uc^4 - 5uc^4 + 5c^8.
  5. Factor by Grouping: Factor by grouping.\newlineNow we group the terms to factor by grouping: 2u22uc42u^2 - 2uc^4 - 5uc45c85uc^4 - 5c^8. We can factor out a common factor from each group: 2u(uc4)5c4(uc4)2u(u - c^4) - 5c^4(u - c^4).
  6. Factor Common Factor: Factor out the common binomial factor.\newlineWe notice that uc4u - c^4 is a common factor in both groups, so we factor it out: uc4u - c^42u5c42u - 5c^4.
  7. Substitute Back: Substitute back s4s^{4} for uu. Now we substitute back s4s^{4} for uu to get the factorization in terms of the original variables: (s4c4)(2s45c4)(s^{4} - c^{4})(2s^{4} - 5c^{4}).
  8. Recognize Difference of Squares: Recognize the difference of squares in the first factor.\newlineThe first factor (s4c4)(s^{4} - c^4) is a difference of squares, which can be factored further as (s2+c2)(s2c2)(s^2 + c^2)(s^2 - c^2).
  9. Recognize Another Difference of Squares: Recognize another difference of squares in the second factor of step 88. The second factor of the first factor (s2c2)(s^2 - c^2) is also a difference of squares, which can be factored further as (s+c)(sc)(s + c)(s - c).
  10. Combine Factors: Combine all factors to write the final factorization.\newlineThe complete factorization of the original polynomial is (s2+c2)(s+c)(sc)(2s45c4)(s^2 + c^2)(s + c)(s - c)(2s^4 - 5c^4).
