Question

Select the correct answer.

Rewrite the polynomial 6x4 + 24x3 - 72x2 by factoring out the GCF.
6x2(x2 + 4x - 12)
6x2(x3 + 6x - 12)
6x(x² + 4x - 12)
6x(x3 + 6x - 12)

Answer 1

The answer is C............

Answer 2

C. 6x(x² + 4x - 12)

Explanation:

Factor
`6x^(2)` out of
`6x^(4)`

`6x^(2)` (
`x^(2)`) +
`6x^(2)` +
`24x^(3) - 72x^(2)`

`6x^(2)` (
`x^(2)`) +
`6x^(2)` (
`4x`)
`-72x^(2)`

`6x^(2)` (
`x^(2)`) +
`6x^(2)` (
`4x`) +
`6x^2` (-12)

`6x^(2)`(
`x^(2)` +
`4x`) +
`6x^(2)` (-12)

`6x^(2)`(
`x^(2)` +
`4x` - 12 )
