Explanation:
Using the rules of exponents
⇔
( m > n)
⇒
( n > m )
Given
=

×
=
← with positive exponents
--------------------------------------------------
(a)
x² + 2x ← factor out x from each term
= x(x + 2)
(b)
2x² - 6x ← factor out 2x from each term
= 2x(x - 3)
(c)
15x - 10x³ ← factor out 5x from each term
= 5x(3 - 2x²)
(d)
9x² + 3x³ ← factor out 3x² from each term
= 3x²(3 + x)
