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 = ( 4
)² ⇒ a = 4
1 = 1² ⇒ b = 1
Hence
16 - 1
= (4 )² - 1²
= (4 - 1)(4
+ 1)
4 - 1 ← is also a difference of squares and factors as
(2x² - 1)(2x² + 1)
Thus
16 - 1
= (2x² - 1)(2x² + 1)(4 + 1 )
