Answer:

Given Polynomial:

80b^4-32b^2c^3+48b^4c

Factors of Coefficient of terms

80 = 5 × 16

32 = 2 × 16

48 = 3 × 16

Common factor of the coefficient of all term is 16.

Each term contain variable. So the Minimum power of b is common from all terms.

Common from all variable part comes b².

So, Common factor of the polynomial = 16b²

⇒ 16b² ( 5b² ) - 16b² ( 2c³ ) + 16b² ( 3b²c )

⇒ 16b² ( 5b² - 2c³ + 3b²c )

Therefore, Statements that are true about David's word are:

The GCF of the coefficients is correct.

The variable c is not common to all terms, so a power of c should not have been factored out.

In step 6, David applied the distributive property

Answer:

The GCF of the coefficients is correct.

The variable c is not common to all terms, so a power of c should not have been factored out.

The expression in step 5 is equivalent to the given polynomial.

In step 6, David applied the distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

Only the above  four statements are true.

GFC of 80, 32, and 48: 16

We find that 16 is the highest number which divides 80, 32 and 48.  Hence 16 is GFC.

GCF of b4, b2, and b4: b2

Also we have taken the term of b in all three and found the least exponent as gCF hence correct.

Since c is not in the first term, no c term can be GCF hence iii is also true.

But the expression in step 5 is not equivalent to the given polynomial because I term in the step 5 = 80b^6c, but in the given no c term is there.

Yes. In step 6, he applied distributive property to take GCF outside the polynomial as a factor.

\bf \textit{area of a sector of a circle}\\\\
A=\cfrac{\theta\pi r^2}{360}\qquad 
\begin{cases}

On a mountain, the temperature decreases by 18°F every 5000 feet. What integer represents the change in temperature at 20,000 ft
attashe74 [19]
<span>To find this answer, use multiples. For every 5000 feet ascended, deduct 18 degrees. For 20,000 feet, which is (4 * 5000), use (4 * -18). In this case, the answer is -72 degrees F, so the integer described would be -72.</span>
