Factor the GCF from each term in the expression. 4p^2-10p+10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat do u think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what u mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't this the same one from yesterday?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I remember pointing out that all the terms are even numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

proably we just didn't finish it i had to go

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4p^2 - 10p + 10 = 2*2p^2 - 2*5p + 2*5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so that would be 4p^2-10p+10 which is the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4p^2 - 10p + 10 2*2p^2 - 2*5p + 2*5 2*(2p^2 - 5p + 5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that is what it means to factor the gcf?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, 2 is the greatest factor u can have in this case so, 2 is the Greatest Common Factor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2(2p^2-5p+5) is the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
