Q. Factor completely:\newline3h8+35h4t412t8 3 h^{8}+35 h^{4} t^{4}-12 t^{8} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify Common Factor: Identify the common factor in the polynomial.\newlineThe polynomial 3h8+35h4t412t83h^{8}+35h^{4}t^{4}-12t^{8} does not have a common factor across all terms, so we cannot factor out a common factor from all three terms.
  2. Recognize Quadratic Form: Recognize the polynomial as a quadratic in form. The polynomial can be seen as a quadratic in terms of h4h^{4} where h4h^{4} is the variable and t4t^{4} is the constant. The polynomial then takes the form of Ah42+Bh4C+Ct42Ah^{4^2} + Bh^{4}C + Ct^{4^2}, where A=3A = 3, B=35B = 35, and C=12C = -12.
  3. Factor as Quadratic: Factor the polynomial as if it were a quadratic.\newlineWe will use the factoring method for a quadratic equation of the form ax2+bx+cax^2 + bx + c. We need to find two numbers that multiply to ACA*C (312=363*-12 = -36) and add up to BB (3535). These two numbers are 3636 and 1-1.
  4. Write as Binomials: Write the polynomial as two binomials.\newlineWe can now express the polynomial as (3h41)(h4+36t4)(3h^{4} - 1)(h^{4} + 36t^{4}). However, this step contains a math error because the numbers 3636 and 1-1 do not multiply to 36-36 and add up to 3535. This is incorrect, and we need to find the correct pair of numbers.
