Question 1052945: Find the values for integers a and b that make the following equation true.
(8m^2+4)(8m^2-4) = am^4+b
I have already simplified it to 64m^4-16=am^4+b. Now I am stuck on what to do next. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 64m^4-16=am^4+b. Rewrite by putting the right side directly below the left.
=am^4+b
Can you see that a must equal 64 and b=-16?
64m^4 is in the form am^4+b, where a is 64 and b is -16.
