dots fr

[primal grail]

you can use the difference of two squares factorisation

and you should be able to use it again once you've done that

@primal grail can u write it out

[primal grail]

$x^4-y^4=(x^2+y^2)(x^2-y^2)$

how do you spoiler mark latex

Please give me something to compile, for example latex ,tex The solutions to \(x^2 = 1\) are \(x = \pm 1\).See ,help and ,help tex for detailed usage and further examples!

i guess y can copy and paste the image and spoiler that

then delete the texit output

[west halo]

,texsp ||$x^4-y^4=(x^2+y^2)(x^2-y^2)$||

do i use the diff of two squares again on both brackets or just one of them after i do it once

[west halo]

the lines really dont matter though

[vale helm]

Why is it grey now

[west halo]

too short maybe

[vale helm]

,texsp $aaaaaaaaaaaaaa$

[primal grail]

just one

[lavish lion]

andypandy

[primal grail]
