Question 567845: Factor out the greatest common factor from the expression
18x^7-14x^2
Answer by rapaljer(4671)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 18x^7 - 14x^2
The common factor is 2*x^2:
2x^2(_____-_____)
2x^2(9x^5 - 7)
For a complete explanation of this and other topics in FACTORING, please see my own website. The best way to find it is to use the easy-to-remember and easy-to-spell link www.mathinlivingcolor.com. At the bottom of the page there is a single link that takes you to my Homepage. On my Homepage, look for the link "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Choose "Basic Algebra", and look in "Chapter 2" for "Section 2.03 Factoring the Common." Here you will find my own non-traditional explanation that my own students used to find much easier to understand than most of the other textbooks being used. There is a VIDEO of me teaching FACTORING in class before I retired a few years ago. To find the video, look on my Homepage for "Rapalje Videos in Living Color," choose "Basic Algebra" and select the "Factoring" video. It's ALL FREE on my website!!!
