factor completely.
$-7x^3y^4z^3 + 4z^5$
answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the GCF

The terms are \(-7x^{3}y^{4}z^{3}\) and \(4z^{5}\). The greatest common factor (GCF) of the coefficients \(-7\) and \(4\) is \(1\), and the GCF of the variables is \(z^{3}\) (since \(z^{3}\) is the lowest power of \(z\) in both terms).

Step2: Factor out the GCF

Factor out \(z^{3}\) from both terms:

Answer:

\(z^{3}(-7x^{3}y^{4} + 4z^{2})\)
