What will be the complete factorisation of \(x^4-81\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \((x-3)(x+3)(x^2+9)\)

Answer: C. Begin with the difference of squares: \(x^4-81=(x^2)^2-9^2=(x^2-9)(x^2+9)\). The factor \(x^2-9\) is itself another difference of squares: \(x^2-3^2=(x-3)(x+3)\). Therefore the complete factorisation is \((x-3)(x+3)(x^2+9)\). Option A is only an intermediate factorisation, not complete, because \(x^2-9\) can still be factored. Option B incorrectly uses \(x^2-81=(x-9)(x+9)\), which is not the factor present. Option D gives \((x^2-9)^2\), which expands to \(x^4-18x^2+81\), not the original expression. Memory cue: for a difference of squares, factor it repeatedly until no factor has the same pattern.
