1-2.25x8=(1-1.5x^4)(1+1.5x^4)
=(1-√1.5 x²)(1+√1.5 x²)(1+1.5 x^4)
=(1-√√1.5 x)(1+√√1.5 x)(1+√1.5 x²) (1+√1.5 x^4)

Answer with explanation:

We have to factorize the expression:


\rightarrow 1-2.25 x^8\\\\=(1)^2 - (1.5x^4)^2\\\\=(1-1.5 x^4)(1+1.5 x^4)\\\\=[1-(√(1.5)x^2)^2][1+(√(1.5)x^2)^2](1+1.5 x^4)\\\\=[1-x*(1.5)^{(1)/(4)}][1+x*(1.5)^{(1)/(4)}][1+(√(1.5)x^2)^2][1+1.5 x^4]

Used the Identity to solve the problem


a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)
