Question

what is the GCF of expression below that could be used to rewrite the polynomial in factored form 4x^3+8x^2+20x

Answer 1

Answer:

The GCF of 4x³ + 8x² + 20x will be 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the GCF of 4x³ + 8x² + 20x

First of all, we write the factors of 4x³

Therefore, the factors of 4x³  = 2 * 2 * x * x * x

Similarly, we have to write the factors of  8x²

=> the factors of  8x² = 2 * 2 * 2 * x * x

and the factors of 20x = 2 * 2 * 5 * x

The GCF of the polynomial is the term that is common to all

As 2 * 2 * x is common in all of the terms, the GCF will be 4x

Thus, the given polynomial, in factored form, can be written as 4x(x² + 2x + 5)
