X⁴ - 12x² + 36

This is the equivalent expression.

(x²-6) ²

1) (x²-6) * (x²-6)

2) x² (x²) + x² (-6) - 6 (x²) - 6 (-6) (distributive multiplication)

3) x⁴ - 6x² - 6x² + 36 = x⁴ - 12x² + 36 (group together figures that are the same value)

Ahmed Lambert · Answer 2

If you would like to know which expression is equivalent to x^4 - 12 * x^2 + 36, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x^4 - 12 * x^2 + 36 = (x^2 - 6) * (x^2 - 6) = (x^2 - 6) ^2

The correct result would be (x^2 - 6) ^2.
