Question:
Factorize each of the following expression:
a4b4 − 81c4
Solution:
$a^{4} b^{4}-81 c^{4}$
$=\left(a^{2} b^{2}\right)^{2}-\left(9 c^{2}\right)^{2}$
$=\left(a^{2} b^{2}+9 c^{2}\right)\left(a^{2} b^{2}-9 c^{2}\right)$
$=\left(a^{2} b^{2}+9 c^{2}\right)\left[(a b)^{2}-(3 c)^{2}\right]$
$=\left(a^{2} b^{2}+9 c^{2}\right)(a b+3 c)(a b-3 c)$
