Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a difference of squares and factors in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

16[tex]x^{8}[/tex] = ( 4[tex]x^{4}[/tex] )² ⇒ a = 4[tex]x^{4}[/tex]

1 = 1² ⇒ b = 1

Hence

16[tex]x^{8}[/tex] - 1

= (4[tex]x^{4}[/tex] )² - 1²

= (4[tex]x^{4}[/tex] - 1)(4[tex]x^{4}[/tex] + 1)

4[tex]x^{4}[/tex] - 1 ← is also a difference of squares and factors as

(2x² - 1)(2x² + 1)

Thus

16[tex]x^{8}[/tex] - 1

= (2x² - 1)(2x² + 1)(4[tex]x^{4}[/tex] + 1 )

The factor of 16x⁸ − 1 is  (2x² - 1)(2x² + 1)(4x⁴ + 1 ) after applying the identity.

What is an expression?

It is defined as the combination of constants and variables with mathematical operators.

We have:

[tex]= \rm 16x^8 -1[/tex]

From the identity:

[tex]\rm a^2-b^2=\left(a+b\right)\left(a-b\right)[/tex]

[tex]= \rm (4x^4)^2 -1[/tex]

[tex]\rm = (4x^4 - 1)(4x^4 + 1)[/tex]

Again applying identity in first term

= (2x² - 1)(2x² + 1)(4 + 1 )

Thus, the factor of 16x⁸ − 1 is  (2x² - 1)(2x² + 1)(4 + 1 ) after applying the identity.
