Question

Which expressions are completely factored?

Answer 1

The only expressions that are correctly factored are;

A) 16a⁵ - 20a³ = 4a³(4a² - 5)

B) 24a⁴ + 18 = 6(4a⁴ + 3)

C) 12a³  + 8a = 4a(3a² + 2)

D) 30a⁶ - 24a² = 3a²(10a⁴ - 8)

How to factorize equations?

1) 16a⁵ - 20a³

To factorize this, we will have to get out the common factor first. The common factor is 4a³. Thus, we now have;

4a³(4a² - 5)

2) 24a⁴ + 18

To factorize this, we will have to get out the common factor first. The common factor is 6. Thus, we now have;

6(4a⁴ + 3)

3) 12a³  + 8a

To factorize this, we will have to get out the common factor first. The common factor is 4a. Thus, we now have;

4a(3a² + 2)

4) 30a⁶ - 24a²

To factorize this, we will have to get out the common factor first. The common factor is 3a². Thus, we now have;

3a²(10a⁴ - 8)
