    Answer:

    factoring the term x^4-1 we get \mathbf{(x^2+1)(x-1)(x+1}

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We need to factor the term x^4-1

    We know that a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)

    We can write x^4 \ as \ (x^2)^2

    Simplifying:

    x^4-1\\=(x^2)^2-1\\=(x^2-1)(x^2+1)\\

    Now, again using formula a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)

    =(x^2+1)((x)^2-1)\\=(x^2+1)(x-1)(x+1)

    So, factoring the term x^4-1 we get \mathbf{(x^2+1)(x-1)(x+1}
