Question

4x^8+8x^7-12x^6+8x^5 greatest common factor then factor the expression

Answer 1

so your equation is this right
\[4x^{8}+8x^{7}-12x ^{6}+8x ^{5}\]

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

what do all of these have in common?

Answer 4

x

Answer 5

how many x's and what else

Answer 6

should be \[4x ^{5}\]

Answer 7

no explain pleease

Answer 8

ok so you have
4 8 12 and another 8 4 goes into all these numbers
then you have \[x ^{8}\]
\[x ^{7}\]
\[x ^{6}\]
\[x ^{5}\]
out of 8 7 6 5 each have a five in common

Answer 9

so you understand?

Answer 10

@higherlearning ??

Answer 11

kind of whats next?

Answer 12

ok so now have
\[4x ^{5}(x ^{3}+2x^{2}-x)\]

Answer 13

ok so 4x^5 is the gcf now we are factoring?

Answer 14

yes :)

Answer 15

ok!!

Answer 16

whats next
