X^4 - 4x2 and 4x^2 - 9, solve the following?

This is unrelated, but I heard that the Quadratic Expression is involved when: a trinomial, with each expression being x^2 +2b + 2, if it was x^4, will the quadratic expression still be used?

Yes, in some examples, when the appropriate change of variable is applied.

x⁴ - 4x² = (x²)² - 4(x²) is a quadratic expression in x²

Let u = x²
x⁴ - 4x² = u² - 4u which is a quadratic expression in u

If the original 4th order polynomial has odd powers of x, then the quartic expression cannot be reduced to a quadratic in this manner, and extracting the roots of the polynomial is much more involved that simple application of quadratic techniques.

I think you mean factorization.

x⁴ - 4x²
= x² (x² - 4)
= x² (x² - 2²)
= x² (x + 2) (x - 2)

4x² - 9
= (2x)² - 3²
= (2x + 3) (2x - 3)
