Factor out the greatest common factor -5x^2 - 5x^3 - 15x^4

Mathematics

Our answer is -5x^{2} (3x^{2} +x+1)

Our greatest common factor, or GCF, is -5x^{2}, so when we factor is out, our divide each term by -5x^{2}, we get our answer. To check this, we can multiply the -5x^{2} back across the parenthesis and see if we get the same result as our initial question.

Hope this helped! :))
