How would you solve this:?

Question

(x^6)-(x^2)

show / explain to me the steps

OR HOW WOULD YOU SIMPLIFY THE EXPRESSION, IS WHAT I MEANT

Answer 1

it is already simplified as far as you can.

Answer 2

Do you want to solve it or factorise it?
If you want to factorise it,here is the answer
(x^6)-(x^2)
=x^2(x^4-1)
=x^2{(x^2)^2-(1)^2}
=x^2(x^2+1)(x^2-1)
=x^2(x^2+1){(x)^2-(1)^2}
=x^2(x^2+1)(x+1)(x-1)
If however you want to solve it,you may take the help of above factors to find the values of x ,if x^6-x^2=0

Answer 3

Solve it for what? Since it is not equal to anything, it is hard to solve it for something. It is simply x to the sixth power minus x to the second power. It can give you a set of answers if x = a number, but that is about it.

Answer 4

=x^2(x^4-1)=x^2(x^2-1)(x^2+1)= x^2(x-1)(x+1)(x^2+1)
The last factor,in complexd numbers can be written as
(x-i)(x+i) where i^2=-1
