Question

What is the missing expression?

x8 + 3x5 = x5(_____)

Answer 1

What you are doing here is simply factoring out the GCF. In this example that factor would be x^5. Once that is complete the missing expression would be x^(3)+3.

Answer 2

whats the answer

Answer 3

try factoring the problem quickly removing \[x ^{5}\] as your GCF. What do you have remaining?

Answer 4

A key note here would be to remember that when dividing coefficients with exponents you subtract the exponents. For example \[x ^{8} \div x ^{5} = x ^{3}\]

Answer 5

so the answer is x^3+3

Answer 6

Yes. Do you understand how you got that?

Answer 7

no
