Abstract: Let $f(x)=x^8+a{x}^4+binmathbbQ[x]$ be an irreducible polynomial where $b$ is a square. We give a method that completely describes the factorization patterns of a linear resolvent of $f(x)$ using simple arithmetic conditions on $a$ and $b$. As a result, we determine the exact six possible Galois groups of $f(x)$ and completely classify all of them. As an application, we characterize the Galois groups of irreducible polynomials $x^8+a{x}^4+1inmathbbQ[x]$. We also use similar methods to obtain analogous results for the Galois groups of irreducible polynomials $x^8+a{x}^6+b{x}^4+a{x}^2+1inmathbbQ[x]$.
