Question

factor $15b - 11b^3$.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify common factor

Both terms \(15b\) and \(-11b^3\) have a common factor of \(b\).

Step2: Factor out the common factor

Factor out \(b\) from the expression \(15b - 11b^3\). Using the distributive property \(ab - ac = a(b - c)\), here \(a = b\), \(ab = 15b\), \(ac = 11b^3\). So we get \(b(15 - 11b^2)\).

Answer:

\(b(15 - 11b^2)\)
