Question
If n is positive integer (n>0), show that n^4-3n^2+9 is composite number
If n is positive integer (n>0), show that n^4-3n^2+9 is composite number
n^4-3n^2+9
=n^4+6n^2+9-9n^2
(n^2+3)^2 - (3n)^2
=(n^2+3n+3)(n^2-3n+3)
Since n>0,
n^2+3n+3>1 and n^2-3n+3>1
n^4-3n^2+9 is the product of two different integers that are greater than 1.
Therefore
It is a composite number
