SOLUTION: can some one look over my problem and see if i am doing this right Factor out the largest common factor. t^5 - 8t^4 -8t^4+t^5 t^4(-8+t)=0 t4 is the gcf t4=0 (-8+t) -8+t=0

Question 325076: can some one look over my problem and see if i am doing this right
Factor out the largest common factor.
t^5 - 8t^4
-8t^4+t^5
t^4(-8+t)=0 t4 is the gcf
t4=0
(-8+t)
-8+t=0
add 8 to each side
-8+8+t=0+8
-8+8=0+8
t=0+8
0+8=8
T=8

Factor out the largest common factor.
t^5 - 8t^4
-8t^4+t^5 Usually the order is descending exponents. It's not wrong, but there's no reason to change the order.
-----------------
t^4(-8+t)=0 t4 is the gcf *** you wrote an equation??? why?
You factored correctly. Neither of the 2 factors is consistently the greatest. The problem should have said, "factor", without reference to the gcf.
----------
The rest is NA. No equation was given, no solutions asked for.
t4=0
(-8+t)
-8+t=0
add 8 to each side
-8+8+t=0+8
-8+8=0+8
t=0+8
0+8=8
T=8
