Question

Factorise:
4f squared + f

Answer 1

4f^2 + f

GCF = f

f(4f^2/f + f/f)

f(4f + 1)

Answer 2

Factorise means to carry over the common number or letter to the outside of a set of brackets, whilst keeping the rest of the equation inside the brackets.

Answer:

Carry f to the outside, meaning that you would be left with f(4f +1).
