What is this polynomial in factored form? 4x^3+8x^2-96x Please help, thank you

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is the GCF of 4x^3, 8x^2, and -96x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

4 is part of it, but not the full GCF

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what do x^3, x^2 and x have in common?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so x is also part of the GCF

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the GCF is 4x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah ok 4x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

when you factor out the GCF, what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So i would put 4x in front and break the rest up?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes, what goes in the blank ? 4x*(_______________)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x(x^2+8x-24)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much. ;)
