-x^{4}-x^{2}+2=0
To factor the expression, solve the equation where it equals to 0.
±2,±1
By Rational Root Theorem, all rational roots of a polynomial are in the form \frac{p}{q}, where p divides the constant term 2 and q divides the leading coefficient -1. List all candidates \frac{p}{q}.
x=-1
Find one such root by trying out all the integer values, starting from the smallest by absolute value. If no integer roots are found, try out fractions.
-x^{3}+x^{2}-2x+2=0
By Factor theorem, x-k is a factor of the polynomial for each root k. Divide -x^{4}-x^{2}+2 by x+1 to get -x^{3}+x^{2}-2x+2. To factor the result, solve the equation where it equals to 0.

By Rational Root Theorem, all rational roots of a polynomial are in the form \frac{p}{q}, where p divides the constant term 2 and q divides the leading coefficient -1. List all candidates \frac{p}{q}.
\text{true}
To factor the expression, solve the equation where it equals to 0.
\left(x+1\right)\left(-x+1\right)\left(x^{2}+2\right)
Rewrite the factored expression using the obtained roots. Polynomial x^{2}+2 is not factored since it does not have any rational roots.
