Question

Factor each polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factorminimum steps please

Answer 1

we are given the following expression:

`12x^4+6x^3-8x^2`

The greatest common factor between 12, 6, and 8 is 2. And the greatest common factor between the variables is:

`\text{GCF(x}^4,x^3,x^2)=x^2`

Therefore, the factorization is:

`12x^4+6x^3-8x^2=2x^2(6x^2+3x-4)`
