X^4 - 16 = 0
Is factoring by polynomials

(x-4)(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a special case. Eventually, it will be helpful to memorize these, but for now, this special case is (a-b)(a+b)=(a^2)-(b^2). In this case, a=x and b=4 because the square root of 16 is 4. Plug in your numbers and then you have: (x-4)(x+4) which is your answer!

I hope this helped! :)

If your looking for a true or false answer because I didn't know what type of problem that you were asking, the answer is false because you haven't factored the equation, if anything, you simplified it. factoring would be what we did above.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
