Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step 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* x^2`

Then

for the second part

`(20x^5+16x^4-12x^2)/(4x^2)=5x^3+4x^2-3`

Thus

we will have

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