Step-by-step explanation:
Part A:
I'm going to assume you meant to write 6x^10 - 96x^2. Based off that assumption you can factor out 6 from both equations as well as x^2.
This is going to give you
. I
Part B:
if you look at the inside, both of the values are perfect squares (if the exponent is even, it's a perfect square). So the equation can further be rewritten using the difference of squares
If you look at the expression, you'll notice one of the equations can further be rewritten as the difference of squares (x^4 - 4).
