factor x^4-6x^2+5

Solution

factor

x^{4} - 6 x^{2} + 5

Solution

(x + 1) (x - 1) (x^{2} - 5)

Solution steps

x^{4} - 6 x^{2} + 5

Let

u = x^{2}

= u^{2} - 6 u + 5

Factor

u^{2} - 6 u + 5 : (u - 1) (u - 5)

= (u - 1) (u - 5)

Substitute back

u = x^{2}

= (x^{2} - 1) (x^{2} - 5)

Factor

x^{2} - 1 : (x + 1) (x - 1)

= (x + 1) (x - 1) (x^{2} - 5)
