Full solution

Q. Factor completely.\newline7x521x4+14x3= 7 x^{5}-21 x^{4}+14 x^{3}=
  1. Identify GCF of terms: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms.\newlineThe terms 7x57x^5, 21x4-21x^4, and 14x314x^3 all have a common factor of 7x37x^3.\newlineGCF: 7x37x^3
  2. Factor out GCF from each term: Factor out the GCF from each term.\newlineFactor 7x37x^3 out of each term to simplify the polynomial.\newline7x521x4+14x3=7x3(x23x+2)7x^5 - 21x^4 + 14x^3 = 7x^3(x^2 - 3x + 2)
  3. Factor quadratic expression: Factor the quadratic expression within the parentheses.\newlineThe quadratic x23x+2x^2 - 3x + 2 can be factored further since it is a simple trinomial.\newlineFactors of 22 that add up to 3-3 are 1-1 and 2-2.\newlinex23x+2=(x1)(x2)x^2 - 3x + 2 = (x - 1)(x - 2)
  4. Write completely factored form: Write the completely factored form of the original polynomial.\newlineCombine the GCF with the factored form of the quadratic.\newline7x3(x23x+2)=7x3(x1)(x2)7x^3(x^2 - 3x + 2) = 7x^3(x - 1)(x - 2)
