Factor 9x^4-4

$9 x^{4} - 4$

Step 1

Rewrite $9 x^{4}$ as ${(3 x^{2})}^{2}$ .

${(3 x^{2})}^{2} - 4$

Step 2

Rewrite $4$ as $2^{2}$ .

${(3 x^{2})}^{2} - 2^{2}$

Step 3

Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula, $a^{2} - b^{2} = (a + b) (a - b)$ where $a = 3 x^{2}$ and $b = 2$ .

$(3 x^{2} + 2) (3 x^{2} - 2)$
