Question

question 5
1 part -- of 1 point

factor. check by multiplying.

(4x^8 - 20x^6)

(4x^8 - 20x^6 =)

Explanation:

Find the greatest common factor of the coefficients

$$ \gcd(4, 20) = 4 $$

Find the greatest common factor of the variable parts

$$ \gcd(x^8, x^6) = x^6 $$

Factor out the greatest common factor

$$ 4x^8 - 20x^6 = 4x^6(x^2 - 5) $$

Answer:

Factor. Check by multiplying.

\(4x^8 - 20x^6 =\) <blank>\(4x^6(x^2 - 5)\)</blank>
