Question

factor completely 4v5 -26v4 +12v the numbers following the v's are to the fifth power and to the 4th power

Answer 1

The only common factor between all three of them is 2v.

So, it would look like this :

2v ( 2v^4 - 13v^3 + 6 )

To check work, you can distribute it again and come up with the same equation given.
