Question

Factor each polynomial expression and explain the factoring process used.

Answer 1

Answers:

b)
`x(25x-1)`

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

d)
`4x(x-5)+25`

e)
`2(3x^(2)+11x+14)`

Explanation:

b) We have the following expression:

`25x^(2)-x`

Applying common factor
`x`:

`x(25x-1)`

c) We have the following expression:

`x^(2)-4x+12`

Applying common factor
`4`:

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

d)We have the following expression:

`4x^(2)-20x+25`

Applying common factor
`4x`:

`4x(x-5)+25`

e)We have the following expression:

`6x^(2)+22x+28`

Applying common factor
`2`:

`2(3x^(2)+11x+14)`
