\[3v^{5}-192v^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 3v^5-192v^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's the largest integer that can be factored out? What's the largest power of v that can be factored out? Move those out front, then divide each term by that part that you factored out.

i dont knwo ho to do that cna u do this one and i try the next

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What's the largest integer that can be factored out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

192

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can't factor 192 out of 3. What's the greatest common factor of 3 and 192?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes! We're going to factor the 3 out of both terms. Now, what's the largest power of v that can be factored out?

OpenStudy (lo):

im not sure if this is right to do. 3v^2 ( v^3 - 64 )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is exactly right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

However, v^3 - 64 can be factored further. Do you know how to do polynomial long division?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or do you know the formula for factoring the difference of cubes?
