Question

9x² - 24x⁵

Explanation:

Step1: Find the GCF of coefficients and variables

The GCF of 9 and 24 is 3. For the variable part, the GCF of \(x^2\) and \(x^5\) is \(x^2\).

Step2: Factor out the GCF

Factor out \(3x^2\) from \(9x^2 - 24x^5\):
\(9x^2 - 24x^5 = 3x^2(3 - 8x^3)\)

Answer:

\(3x^2(3 - 8x^3)\)
