x4 + x2 - 42
Let x2 = t, so that x4 = t2
t2 + t - 42 since -42 = 7(-6) and 7 + (-6) = 1, then
t2 + t - 42 = (t - 6)(t + 7) = (x2 - 6)(x2 + 7) By replacing t with x2. So we have,
x4 + x2 - 42 = (x2 - 6)(x2 + 7) = [x2 - (square root of 6)2](x2 + 7) = (x - sq. root of 6 )(x + sq. root of 6)(x2 + 7)

What Is The greatest common factor Of 56 84 112?
28 ( x2, x3 and x4)
Can you factor out exponents?
You sure can, here is an example I made up to show you: x4+x2= x2(x2+x) When you factor it out it should look like this because if you multiply it back up (where the exponents will multiply not add) it will equal the primary equation.
How do you factor x to the fifth minus one?

How do you factor completely x to the fourth power minus 16?
(x4 - 16) = (x2 + 4) (x2 - 4) = (x2 + 4) (x + 2) (x - 2)
How do you factor this x4-x2-12?
I assume the x4 is x to the 4th power, and x2 is x², or x squared. The two factors would be: (x + 2)(x - 2)(x² + 3) There are 4 solutions for x: x = 2 x = -2 x = √-3 x = -√-3
X4 plus 7x2 minus 60 factor completely?
x4 + 7x2 - 60 = x4 + 12x2 - 5x2 - 60 = x2(x2 + 12) - 5(x2 +12) = (x2 - 5)(x2 +12)

How do you solve x-1 plus x2-x plus x3-x2 plus x4-x3?
x4 - 1.We can not "solve" this as we have not been told the value of x. However, we can simplify this expression:We have an x and a minus x here which will cancel out. Likewise the x2 and x3 will cancel out with the -x2 and -x3 respectively. This therefore leaves us with just x4 - 1.
