Show that any number of the form 24n+2+1 can be easily factored by the use of the identity 4x4+1=(2x2+2x+1)(2x2−2x+1). Factor 218+1 using this identity.
This one wants a proof. Work it on paper, then read the official solution and mark yourself. Be honest about it: the record is only any use to you if it is.
