This one cannot be factored too much, but we can pull out an x from each term. Each remaining term then drops an exponent.


= 3x^5 - 7x^4 - 14x
= x(3x^4 − 7x^3 - 14)


ANSWER: x(3x^4 − 7x^3 - 14)

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

3x^5 - 7x^4 - 14x = x*(3x^4 - 7x^3 - 14)

Explanation:

Given the polynomial: 3x^5 - 7x^4 - 14x we can factorize it taking x as a common factor:

3x^5 - 7x^4 - 14x = x*(3x^4 - 7x^3 - 14)

After this, no further factoring can be applied
