Question

What is the GCF of the terms of 3x⁴-9x²-12x?

Answer 1

Answer: The GCF of the terms of
`3x^4-9x^2-12x` is
`3x`.

Explanation:

We need to find: GCF(Greatest common factor) of the terms of
`3x^4-9x^2-12x`.

The greatest common factor(GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two expressions.

Here,

`3x^4=3* x * x * x * x \\9x^2=3* 3 * x * x\\12x=3* 2 * 2 * x`

The greatest common factor of
`3x^4-9x^2-12x` =
`3x`

Hence, the GCF of the terms of
`3x^4-9x^2-12x` is
`3x`.
