Question

Factor.

Answer 1

Answer:

$4(2x^5+x^2-3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is to factorize  $8x^5+4x^2-12$

What is common from all 3 terms? It is the factor 4, so we take out 4 and write the remaining as "factorized form".

(Work shown below):

$8x^5+4x^2-12\\=4(2x^5+x^2-3)$

First answer choice is right.
