y^8 - 256
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "View it as the difference of 2 squares.
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%5E2+-+b%5E2+=+%28a-b%29%2A%28a%2Bb%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y%5E8+-+256+=+%28y%5E4%29%5E2+-+16%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( " = \"%28y%5E4+-+16%29%2A%28y%5E4+%2B+16%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Then do the same for \"y%5E4+-+16\"
\n" ); document.write( "
