<h3>Answer: </h3>
The GCF is 4
The polynomial factors to
==========================================================
Further explanation:
Ignore the x terms
We're looking for the GCF of 12, 4 and 20
Factor each to their prime factorization. It might help to do a factor tree, but this is optional.
- 12 = 2*2*3
- 4 = 2*2
- 20 = 2*2*5
Each factorization involves "2*2", which means 2*2 = 4 is the GCF here.
We can then factor like so
The distributive property pulls out that common 4. We can verify this by distributing the 4 back in, so we get the original expression back again.
The polynomial inside the parenthesis cannot be factored further. Proof of this can be found by looking at the roots and noticing that they aren't rational numbers (use the quadratic formula).
The illustration of the given mathematical elements is as in the attached images.
<h3>Illustration of mathematical elements</h3>For line segments;
- The beginning and end of the line are specified by the assigned alphabets.
However, for rays;
- The ray is illustrated to originate from a point and span on from there till infinity.
For angles;
- The alphabet in the middle of the set of 3 alphabets used to identify the angle represents the center point of where the angle is located.
