Question

Factor the following polynomial -64x^2y^4-40x^4y^3 Factor the trinomial by grouping 5x^2-2x-20x+8 Factor the trinomial completely x^2-14x+48 Factor the trinomial completely. If the trinomialcontains a greatest common factor (other than 1), factor out theGCF first x^2+4xy-5y^2 Factor the following polynomial -64x^2y^4-40x^4y^3 Factor the trinomial by grouping 5x^2-2x-20x+8 Factor the trinomial completely x^2-14x+48 Factor the trinomial completely. If the trinomialcontains a greatest common factor (other than 1), factor out theGCF first x^2+4xy-5y^2

Explanation / Answer

-64x^2(y^4)-40x^4(y^3)
   (-8x^2)(5x^2+8y)(y^3)

5x^2-2x-20x+8
=5x^2-20x-2x+8
=5x(x-4)-2(x-4)
=(5x-2)(x-4)


x^2-14x+48
(x-6)(x-8)

x^2+4xy-5y^2
--can't be factored because the GCF is 1
