Question

explain why x and 4x -10 are factors of the expression x(4x-10)^ rather than terms of the expression . what are the terms of the factor 4x-10?

Answer 1

X(4x-10)^

you can write

a(b)^ 

where
a = x
and b = (4x-10)

so a*b  have two factors a and b

b has also power = so b^    so it is means b*b*b*b*.....  so b^ have always factor b

(4x-10) 

4x < 10
x<10/4 
x < 2.5
