Answer:

x 3 ⋅(7x 2+8)

Explanation:

(8 • (x3)) + 7x5

23x3 + 7x5

Pull out like factors :

7x5 + 8x3 = x3 • (7x2 + 8)

Find roots (zeroes) of : F(x) = 7x2 + 8

Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of x for which F(x)=0

Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers x which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers

The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number P/Q then P is a factor of the Trailing Constant and Q is a factor of the Leading Coefficient

In this case, the Leading Coefficient is 7 and the Trailing Constant is 8.

The factor(s) are:

of the Leading Coefficient : 1,7

of the Trailing Constant : 1 ,2 ,4 ,8
