Question

Which is a factor of each term of the polynomial?

(7f2−12f)7f2-12f

A. f
B. 7f
C. 2f
D. 7

Answer 1

Uhm, I'm going to say A. f, because f goes in to all of the terms.

Answer 2

A. f

Explanation:

The given expression is

`(7f^(2)-12f)7f^(2)-12f`

As you can observe in the given expression, a common factor to all terms is
`f`, because it's present in each term.

To a factor be common, it has to be present in all terms, like
`f` in this case.

`7f^(2)` has
`f` as a factor.

`12f` has
`f` as a factor.

Therefore, the right answer is A.
