Question

Simplify as far as possible 8x^(5)-12x^(4)+16x^(3)

Answer 1

Answer:

`4x^3(2x^2-3x+4)`

Explanation:

We have:

`8x^5-12x^4+16x^3`.

1. Factor out the greatest common factor of these 3 terms. In this case, it is
   `4x^3`. We end up with the expression
   
   `4x^3(2x^2-3x+4)`
2. Since the expression
   `2x^2-3x+4` cannot be factored, the final answer is
   
   `4x^3(2x^2-3x+4)`
