Best Answer

You want to factor (x4 -91)

First notice that the factors of 91 are 1, 7, 13, and 91.

If we try them all , we see that x4 -91 is a prime polynomial.

Even though the polynomial is prime, that is cannot be factored over the set of rational numbers, it is factorable over the set of Irrational Numbers.

x4 - 91

= (x2)2 - (√91)2

= (x2 - √91)(x2 + √91)

= [x2 - (√√91)2](x2 + √91)

= (x - √√91)(x + √√91)(x2 + √91)
