I cannot solve this question.

[Hierophant]

4a^2c^2 - (a^2 - b^2 +c^2)^2

Factor this completely






My attempt is to expand then foil the right side of the equation, then I'm stuck. For whatever reason, I haven't been able to concentrate on this question. I just am missing a fact or two. I would like it if you could show me step by step the process which you solve it.

I am about to flap my hands around and run in circles I am so frustrated with this. lol.

Thank you.

Wrong place to ask that.

Why are you expanding when you're trying to factor?

That's not how things work here at Physics Forums. In the PM I sent you, there's a link to the rules. Take a look at them, especially the section on Homework Help.

I am locking this thread.
