Factor completely. 6x^5-48x^4+12^3

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Factor the GCF first. i.e. x^3

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

x^3(6x^2-48x+12) Now 6 is common too! 6x^3(x^2 - 8x + 2)

OpenStudy (theviper):

Take 6 as common =>6(x^5-8x^4+2^3)

OpenStudy (theviper):

@saifoo.khan u can't take x^3 as common

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

@TheViper , Yes, we can.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6x^5-48x^5+12^4

OpenStudy (theviper):

How plz tell me:)

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

@alisa845 , you changed the exponents?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

@TheViper , I just showed the steps.

OpenStudy (theviper):

xis not present in 12^3

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

I think that's a typo. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Guys, you're both (kinda) right. The common factor is \(6x^3\).

OpenStudy (theviper):

typo?

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

it's 12x^3 not 12^3 @TheViper

OpenStudy (theviper):

oh! but not written in the question

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

It's a typo. :P

OpenStudy (theviper):

OpenStudy (theviper):

Is ur question \[6x^5-48x^4+12x^3\]

OpenStudy (theviper):

Rewrite the question plz:)
