Question

a ^ 4 + a ^ 2 b ^ 2 + b ^ 4

Answer 1

Answer:

a^6 b^6 because they both are in addition

Answer 2

Answer:

a^2+b^2-ab

step by step explanation

a^4+a^2b^2+b^4=a^4+a^2+b^2 +b^4+a^2b^2-a^2b^2

a^4+b^4+2a^2b^2-a^2b^2

(a^2+b^2)^2-a^2-b^2

using (a+b)^2 formula

(a^2-b^2)^2-(ab)^2

((a^2+b^2)+ab)((a^2+b^2)-ab)

using formula (a-b)^2

therefore the factors of a^4+a^2b^2+b^4are (a^2+b^2+ab) and (a^2+b^2+ab)and (a^2+b^2 -ab)
