To factorize the expression x¹⁶ - 16, we can recognize it as a difference of squares.

We know that x¹⁶ can be written as (x⁸)² and 16 is a perfect square, specifically 4².

The expression x¹⁶ - 16 can be rewritten as (x⁸)² - 4².

Now we can use the difference of squares formula, which states that a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b).

Applying this formula, we have: (
