Q. Factor the polynomial by its greatest common monomial factor.\newline14x2+28x5= 14 x^{2}+28 x^{5}=
  1. Identifying the highest power of x: To find the greatest common monomial factor, we need to identify the highest power of xx that divides both terms and the largest number that divides both coefficients.\newlineThe coefficients are 1414 and 2828. The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 1414 and 2828 is 1414.\newlineThe variable parts are x2x^2 and x5x^5. The greatest common factor in terms of xx is x2x^2, since x2x^2 is the highest power of xx that divides both x2x^2 and x5x^5.
  2. Finding the greatest common divisor: Now, we divide each term by the greatest common monomial factor, which is 14x214x^2.\newline14x214x2=1\frac{14x^2}{14x^2} = 1\newline28x514x2=2x3\frac{28x^5}{14x^2} = 2x^3
  3. Determining the greatest common factor in terms of x: We can now write the original polynomial as the product of the greatest common monomial factor and the remaining terms.\newline14x2+28x5=14x2(1+2x3)14x^2 + 28x^5 = 14x^2(1 + 2x^3)
