Question

Can we factored out a factored GCF ?

Answer 1

It depends on what the GCF is

Answer 2

What is the number?

Answer 3

its a wrong differentation, but look at the arrow part ,
I factored the negative sign of the GCF in order to eliminate the GCF and the denominator

Answer 4

Do you mind if I get help from someone else?

Answer 5

Pls do :)

Answer 7

Before the arrow and after the arrow, the expressions are not equal.

Answer 8

That's what was lookin at

Answer 9

@mathstudent55 so that is a NO , thanks! :)

Answer 10

You have to cancel out 1 (x^2+1) in the denominator when you cancel 1 in the numerator.

Answer 11

@200205650 oh yeah, my bad also

Answer 12

^other words

Answer 13

@mathstudent55 THANKS! :)

Answer 14

It's okay and yes @mathstudent55 is right. :)

Answer 15

Before the arrow, you have 2x(x^2−1) etc.
To take out a negative, you'd end up with:
-2x(1 - x^2)

Answer 16

\(x^2 - 1 = -(1 - x^2)\ne -(x^2 + 1)\)
