Question

Directions: Rewrite the following expressions in factored form by determining the GCF and what numbers give You 16 and 44) 16p^4 + 4p^3Factored Form:EXAMPLE

Answer 1

The expression

$16p^4+4p^3$

Has coefficients:

$16\text{ and 4}$

16 has factors 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16. Meanwhile 4 has factors 1, 2 and 4. Therefore the GCF of this two numbers is 4.

Now, the variable has GCF of p^3. Therefore, the expression in factored form is:

$4p^3(4p+1)$
