Multiple Choice

If possible, factor the polynomial completely. If a polynomial cannot be factored, state that it is prime.
- $$s ^ { 12 } - t ^ { 16 }$$

• A) \(\left( s ^ { 6 } + t ^ { 8 } \right) \left( s ^ { 6 } - t ^ { 8 } \right)\)
• B) \(\left( \mathrm { s } ^ { 10 } - \mathrm { t } ^ { 14 } \right) ^ { 2 }\)
• C) \(\left( s ^ { 6 } - t ^ { 8 } \right) ^ { 2 }\)
• D) \(\left( \mathrm { s } ^ { 10 } + \mathrm { t } ^ { 14 } \right) \left( \mathrm { s } ^ { 10 } - \mathrm { t } ^ { 14 } \right)\)
