Question

Bytelearn · Accepted Answer

Identify Common Factors: Step Title: Identify Common Factors Concise Step Description: Look for any common factors in all terms of the polynomial. Step Calculation: The greatest common factor of 16u^3, 8u^2, 10u, and 5 is 1. Step Output: No common factors other than 1.Group Terms: Step Title: Group Terms Concise Step Description: Group terms to factor by grouping. Step Calculation: Group the first two terms and the last two terms: (16u^3 - 8u^2) + (10u - 5). Step Output: Grouped terms: (16u^3 - 8u^2) + (10u - 5).Factor Out GCF from Each Group: Step Title: Factor Out the Greatest Common Factor from Each Group Concise Step Description: Factor out the greatest common factor from each group. Step Calculation: Factor out 8u^2 from the first group and 5 from the second group: 8u^2(2u - 1) + 5(2u - 1). Step Output: Factored groups: 8u^2(2u - 1) + 5(2u - 1).Factor Out Common Binomial Factor: Step Title: Factor Out the Common Binomial Factor Concise Step Description: Factor out the common binomial factor from the factored groups. Step Calculation: The common binomial factor is (2u - 1). Factor this out: (2u - 1)(8u^2 + 5). Step Output: Factored form: (2u - 1)(8u^2 + 5).
