Question

Factor the polynomial.

4x7+32x+5-24x^4

A. 4x^4(x^3+8x-6)
B. 2x^4(2x^3+16x-12)
C. 2x^4(x3+8x-6)
D. 4x^4(2x^3+16x-12)

Answer 1

The coefficients here are 4, 32, and -24. The GCF of these values is 4.
As for the variables, the values are x^7, x^5, and x^4. The GCF is x^4
To factor this expression take out 4x^4 from each of the terms.
Coefficients should be divided by four and exponents should be subtracted by 4 since they have the same base (x).
The answer here is A.
