    Factorise the polynomial x4−10x2+22x^4 - 10x^2 + 22x4−10x2+22​ into product of two quadratic polynomials.
    Question

    Factorise the polynomial x410x2+22x^4 - 10x^2 + 22​ into product of two quadratic polynomials.

    A.

    (x24+3)(x243)(x^2 - 4 + \sqrt{3})(x^2 - 4 - \sqrt{3}) \\​​

    B.

    (x23+3)(x233)(x^2 - 3 + \sqrt{3})(x^2 - 3 - \sqrt{3}) \\​​

    C.

    (x22+3)(x223)(x^2 - 2 + \sqrt{3})(x^2 - 2 - \sqrt{3}) \\​​

    D.

    (x25+3)(x253)(x^2 - 5 + \sqrt{3})(x^2 - 5 - \sqrt{3})​​

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    x410x2+22. x^4 - 10x^2 + 22. 
    Formula Used:
    Roots of equation=b±b24ac2a\text{Roots of equation} = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} 
    Solution:
    Let y = x^2
    Given Polynomial becomes y210y+22.y^2 - 10y + 22.​​
    Roots of equation=b±b24ac2a\text{Roots of equation} = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
    where a = 1, b = -10, and c = 22.

    Therefore, the two roots of the quadratic are:
    y = 5 + √3 and y = 5 - √3
    Now, substitute y = x^2 back into the factored form:
    (x^2 - (5 + √3))(x^2 - (5 - √3))
    The factorisation of x^4 - 10x^2 + 22 is: (x^2 - (5 + √3))(x^2 - (5 - √3))
