Dont simply write the answers down, show the stpes and the logic for the 1st question , I tried to think for both the question for a long time but it just isnt cliking the rest were moder and easy and tough but I could do it correctly, Thanks for the help.

I believe it can be facotrized by factor method , I tried splittting the midle term method but didnt work, please tell me how to factorize by factor method

1) 4x^4 + 7x^2 - 9
4(x^4 + (7/4)x^2 - 9/4)
4(x^4 + (7/4)x^2 + (7/8)^2 - (7/8)^2 - 9/4)
4(x^2 + 7/8)^2 - 49/64 - 144/64)
4(x^2 + 7/8)^2 - 193/64)
4(x^2 + 7/8)^2 - ((1/16)√193)^2)
4(x^2 + 7/8 - (1/16)√193)(x^2 + 7/8 + (1/16)√193)

2) Regarding the second problem if the expression is 5x^3+14x^2-53x+10 instead of as given by yoy,it can be factorised.
5x^3+14x^2-53x+10
Applying the factor theorem which states that if an expression containing x,becomes zero when x is replaced by a,then x-a is a factor of the expression
If we put x=2,the value of the expression is
5*8+14*4-53*2+10
=40+56-106+10=0
Therefore x-2 is a factor of the polynomial
5x^3+14x^2-53x+10
=5x^2(x-2)+24x(x-2)-5(x-2)
=(x-2)(5x^2+24x-5)
=(x-2)(5x^2+25x-x-5)
=(x-2){5x(x+5)-1(x+5)}
=(x-2)(x+5)(5x-1)

If the question is from your text-book,please check the answer and if the same is tallying,then correct the question.Otherwise please ignore my answer.Thank you

both of them are not factorable.
the complication of the first question is the 4 infront of x^4
we know we will brake it into 2 ( ) ( ) with x^2 in the begining of both so thats the first step
(?x^2 +- ? ) ( ?x^2 +- ?) +- means plus or minus
the first coefeicinets infront of x^2 has to be factors of 4 that is infront of x^4. the only two ways we can get 4 by multiplication is 4x1 and 2x2 we have to try both of them
so its either (2x^2 +-?) (2x^2 +- ?) or (4x^2 +-?)(1x^2 +-?)
so now we have to look at 9 and think how can we factor that and the obly ways ti do that is
9x1 and 3x3
when we plug in them into each we get
(2x^2+-9)(2x^+-1) or (4x^2+-9)(x^2+-1) or (4x^2+-1)(x^2+-9)
(2x^2+-3)(2x^2+-3) or (4x^2+-3)(x^2+-3)
neither of these will work. so its not factorable.
the problem with the second one is #53. its a prime number and neither of the other coeficients will go into it. so it cant be factored.

ok you want to locate the worry-unfastened factors in the two factors; ie, selection one, the two factors have a p²and a q², so those 2 go exterior the bracket: p²q²() then interior the bracket is going despite you will possibly be able to desire to multiply those by utilising to get the unique words; ie, for the 1st time, you want yet another q, and for the 2nd, yet another p, making the factorised variety: p²q²(q+p). the 2nd is comparable. for the 0.33, you will possibly be able to desire to multiply out the brackets earlier factorising the whole element (keep in mind (x-one million)^2=(x-one million)(x-one million)!) desire that helps.
