Question

Factor using GCF:20x5 + 16x4 - 12x2Please can u hurry

Answer 1

Explanation:

From the given question

We are given the function

$20x^5-16x^4-12x^2$

GCF: The greatest common factor of a set of numbers is the largest factor that all the numbers share, in our case the GCF is

$4x^2$

So, for the first part

$GCF=4\times x^2$

Then

for the second part

$\frac{20x^5+16x^4-12x^2}{4x^2}=5x^3+4x^2-3$

Thus

we will have

$Factored\text{ function:GCF\lparen5}\times x^2\text{\rparen+\lparen4}\times x^2\text{\rparen+\lparen-3\rparen}$
