What is the completely factored form of this polynomial? x^4- 8x^2 + 16
A. (X+2)^2(x-2)^2
B. (x^2-4)^2
C. (x^2+4)(x+2)(x-2)
D. (x+2)(x-2)

A. (x + 2)²(x - 2)²

Step-by-step explanation:

x⁴ - 8x² + 16 =

(x² - 4)(x² - 4) =

(x - 2)(x + 2)(x - 2)(x + 2) =

(x - 2)²(x + 2)²

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36
