document.write( "Question 1174746: Hi so basically I need to simplify all square roots and answers should not be decimals Factor or solve the following:
\n" ); document.write( "X⁴-16x²+48
\n" ); document.write( "I know this is a trinomial and that it might be good to use the slide rule. Also I'm not sure if it needs to use the zero product property..
\n" ); document.write( "Anyway if you can help I will leave a great review!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

\n" ); document.write( "\"+x%5E4+-+16x%5E2+%2B+48+\" can be 'factored' but not 'solved' \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you had
\n" ); document.write( "\"+u%5E2+-+16u+%2B+48+\" you'd have \"+%28u-12%29%28u-4%29+\" so let \"u=x%5E2\" and you're mostly done: \"+%28x%5E2-12%29%28x%5E2-4%29+\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Factoring a 2nd time and simplifying, gives:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28x-2sqrt%283%29%29%28x%2B2sqrt%283%29%29%28x-2%29%28x%2B2%29+\" \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
