Answer:

5x^6(3x^3 + 5x^2 + 11)

Explanation:

The GCF of 15, 25, and 55 is 5.

The GCF of x^9, x^8, and x^6 is x^6.

The GCF of the terms of the polynomial is 5x^6.

Now we factor it out of the polynomial by dividing each term of the polynomial by the GCF of the polynomial.

5x^6(3x^3 + 5x^2 + 11)
