Question

How to I factor n^5+216n^2 ?

Answer 1

Jiggly nice!

Answer 2

@b77w , Is that a mathematical term? Help me. ):

Answer 3

n^2(n+6)(n^2-6n+36)

Answer 4

How do I get that?

Answer 5

n^2(n^3+216)
n^2(n^3+6^3)
=n^2(n+6)(n^2-6n+6^2)

Answer 6

n^2 in the greatest common factor of n^5 and 216n^2
so that can be taken out to give
n^2(n^3 + 216)

the brackets contain 2 perfect cubes

and are factored using the identity

a^3 + b^3 = (a + b)(a^2 - ab + b^2)

Answer 7

Thank you to everyone! I understand now.
