Question

Find the GCF of the terms of the polynomial. 50x5 + 4x4

Answer 1

The answer is going to be 2x^4.

Answer 2

Answer:

The GCF of the polynomial is $2\times x^4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Polynomial $50x^5+4x^4$

To find : The GCF of the terms of the polynomial?

Solution :

To find GCF i.e. greatest common factor,

Write the numbers as the product of their prime factors.

$50x^5=2\times 5\times 5\times x\times x^4$

$4x^4=2\times 2\times x^4$

Both terms have common, $2\times x^4$

So, The GCF of the polynomial is $2\times x^4$
