Question

Factor using the GCF

24m^9-60m^7-72m^3

Answer 1

12(2m^8-5m^7-6m^3)

was wondering if it could go further?

Answer 2

m^3 is also common

Answer 3

12m^3(2m^6-5m^4-6)

12m^3 (2m^2 + 2)(m^2 - 3)

12m^3=0 --> m = 0
2m^2 = -2 --> m^2 = -1
m^2 = 3 --> m = \[\sqrt{3}\]

Answer 4

for the second one:

m can be i

Answer 5

i just need the simplest factoring

Answer 6

12m^3 (2m^2 + 2)(m^2 - 3)

Answer 7

Where are you getting those numbers? It's not even an equation!!!
So what did you do? Make up an equation and decide that one side would be 0?

Answer 8

@Mertsj who are you talking to?

Answer 9

Is it the right answer @emily9102 ??

Answer 10

The one who said the answers are sqrt 3 and i

Answer 11

The one who doesn't know the difference between factors and roots.

Answer 12

oh, i dont know about that. i just needed it factored completely
