factor out the GCF from the expression -6x^6+30x^5-18x^4. can someone help me with this problem?

Question

anonymous · Answer

You could use euclid's algorithm to find the GCD of 6, 18, and 30 which is 6.
The smallest power is 4, so you would factor out 6x^4

cwrw238 · Answer

the gcf is the greatest number or variable which divides exactly in the number/variable
so
gcf of -6,30 and 18 =  6
gcf of x^6, x^4 and x^5 = x^4

reqd. gcf = 6x^4

anonymous · Answer

is this the final answer

cwrw238 · Answer

do you just want the gcf or the complete factors?

anonymous · Answer

it says factor out the gcf from the expression

cwrw238 · Answer

hhm not sure to get the other factors you divide  6x^4 into each term
eg -6x^6 / 6x^4 = -x^(6-4) = -x^2

so starting you off

 6x^4( -x^2 +       -      )

can you fill in the blanks?

lol  hi!

no help me

anonymous · Answer

I think the answer your question is looking for is 6x^4

Do you know euclid's algorithm?
