Q. Factor completely:\newline6x417x2t2+10t4 6 x^{4}-17 x^{2} t^{2}+10 t^{4} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Recognize as quadratic form: Recognize the polynomial as a quadratic in form.\newlineThe given polynomial 6x417x2t2+10t46x^{4}-17x^{2}t^{2}+10t^{4} can be seen as a quadratic in terms of x2x^2, where x2x^2 is the variable and t2t^2 is a constant.
  2. Factor using middle term: Factor the quadratic polynomial using the middle term factor method.\newlineWe need to find two numbers that multiply to (6x2)(10t2)=60x2t2(6x^2)(10t^2) = 60x^2t^2 and add up to 17x2t2-17x^2t^2. The numbers that satisfy these conditions are 12x2t2-12x^2t^2 and 5x2t2-5x^2t^2.
  3. Rewrite by splitting: Rewrite the polynomial by splitting the middle term. \newline6x417x2t2+10t4=6x412x2t25x2t2+10t46x^{4}-17x^{2}t^{2}+10t^{4} = 6x^{4} - 12x^{2}t^{2} - 5x^{2}t^{2} + 10t^{4}
  4. Factor by grouping: Factor by grouping.\newlineGroup the terms to factor by grouping:\newline(6x412x2t2)(5x2t210t4)(6x^{4} - 12x^{2}t^{2}) - (5x^{2}t^{2} - 10t^{4})\newlineNow factor out the common factors from each group:\newline6x2(x22t2)5t2(x22t2)6x^2(x^2 - 2t^2) - 5t^2(x^2 - 2t^2)
  5. Factor out common factor: Factor out the common binomial factor.\newlineThe common binomial factor is (x22t2)(x^2 - 2t^2), so we factor it out:\newline(6x25t2)(x22t2)(6x^2 - 5t^2)(x^2 - 2t^2)
  6. Recognize difference of squares: Recognize that (x22t2)(x^2 - 2t^2) is a difference of squares and can be further factored.(x22t2)(x^2 - 2t^2) can be written as (x2(2t)2)(x^2 - (\sqrt{2}t)^2), which is a difference of squares and can be factored as:(x2t)(x+2t)(x - \sqrt{2}t)(x + \sqrt{2}t)
  7. Write final factorization: Write the final factorization.\newlineThe complete factorization of the polynomial is:\newline(6x25t2)(x2t)(x+2t)(6x^2 - 5t^2)(x - \sqrt{2}t)(x + \sqrt{2}t)
