-----------------------
t^(4)-81
The binomial can be factored using the difference of squares formula, because both terms are perfect squares.
(t^(2)+9)(t^(2)-9)
The binomial can be factored using the difference of squares formula, because both terms are perfect squares. The difference of squares formula is a^(2)-b^(2)=(a-b)(a+b).
Answer: (t^(2)+9)(t-3)(t+3)
