16x3 + 28x5y



A.


8x5


B.


112x5y


C.


4x5y


D.


4x3

Answer 1

GCF = Greatest Common Factor, so first you want to factor out the two terms in the polynomial

Answer 2

\[What\]

Answer 3

do you know how to factor?

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

So for the first one, you would have 16x^3 = 2*2*2*2*x*x*x

Answer 6

can you do the other?

Answer 7

No It's Hard

Answer 8

I'm Completly LOST

Answer 9

28x^5y = 2* 2 * 7*x*x*x*x*x*y

Answer 10

OK, that is how you factor what you want to do after that is look to see where the greatest factors are

Answer 11

We see that there are 2 2's in both of them and 3 x's

Answer 12

Is it B

Answer 13

no, which answer would it be?

Answer 14

A

Answer 15

no, 2*2=4 and x*x*x = x^3 so your answer is 4x^3

Answer 16

does that help?

Answer 17
