Question 253869: Study the terms in this trinomial.
28x(cubed)- 14x(squared) + 7x
Part A
Write the polynomial as the product of the GCF of all its terms and a polynomial.
I know that the GCF is 7x
I don't know if I should put my answer as
7x(4x squared - 2x + 1) or if I should eliminate the x on the outer part
of the parenthesis and put
7(4x cubed - 2x + 1

I'm sorry I don't know how to type the exponents without spelling it out.
I really want to get this one exactly right.

---------------------------
If you eliminate the x, you haven't factored out the GCF, only part of it.

For exponents, use 4x^3 - 14x^2 + 7x
The ^ is above the 6.
