Question 39155: it says to factor the polynomial, i dont know how to even start to do this problem, 24w^12+64w^8
Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Okay from
24w^12 + 64w^8
we look for the greatest common factor in both terms...
that is, what number goes into 24 and 64...the biggest would be 8...
Then what is the largest power of w in both? Why, w^8...so we factor it
24w^12 + 64w^8 =
8w^8(3w^4 + 8)
