Q. Factor the polynomial by its greatest common monomial factor.\newline9b8+24b3= 9 b^{8}+24 b^{3}=
  1. Identify GCF and Power: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerical coefficients and the lowest power of the variable present in both terms.\newlineThe numerical coefficients are 99 and 2424. The GCF of 99 and 2424 is 33.\newlineThe variable parts are b8b^8 and b3b^3. The GCF of b8b^8 and b3b^3 is b3b^3 since that is the lowest power of 242400 present in both terms.
  2. Factor Out GCF: Factor out the GCF from both terms of the polynomial.\newlineThe GCF from step 11 is 3b33b^3. We divide both terms of the polynomial by 3b33b^3.\newline9b83b3=3b83=3b5\frac{9b^8}{3b^3} = 3b^{8-3} = 3b^5\newline24b33b3=8b33=8\frac{24b^3}{3b^3} = 8b^{3-3} = 8
  3. Write Factored Form: Write the factored form of the polynomial using the GCF.\newlineThe polynomial 9b8+24b39b^8 + 24b^3 factored by the GCF 3b33b^3 is:\newline3b3(3b5+8)3b^3(3b^5 + 8)
