-10v^9+8v^6+2v^5
10=5*2
8=2^3
2=2
The common factor is 2 and its least exponent is 1
The least exponent for the variable v is 5
Then, the GFC of the polynomial is 2v^5
Factoring:
2v^5 [ -(10v^9)/(2v^5)+(8v^6)/(2v^5)+(2v^5)/(2v^5) ] =
2v^5 (-5v^(9-5)+4v^(6-5)+1) =
2v^5 (-5v^4+4v+1)
6/x = x-1
Multiply x by both sides
6= x(x-1)
Set x and x-1 equal to 6
x = 6, x = 1+6 = 7
Nothing further can be done with this solution
Remember, order of operations
exponent before multiply
so 4x^5/6=4 times x^5/6
simplify the x^5/6 first
remember
![x^\frac{m}{n}=\sqrt[n]{s^m}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bn%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bs%5Em%7D)
so
![x^\frac{5}{6}=\sqrt[6]{x^5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B6%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B6%5D%7Bx%5E5%7D)
so
![4x^\frac{5}{6}=4\sqrt[6]{x^5}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=4x%5E%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B6%7D%3D4%5Csqrt%5B6%5D%7Bx%5E5%7D)
