Identify Common Factor: Identify the common factor in both terms.Both terms have (x+4) in common. The first term has (x+4)2 and the second term has (x+4)3. The common factor is (x+4)2.
Factor Out Common Factor: Factor out the common factor from both terms.We can factor (x+4)2 out of both terms to get (x+4)2[5+(x+4)].
Simplify Inside Brackets: Simplify the expression inside the brackets.Inside the brackets, we have 5+(x+4). Simplify this to get 5+x+4, which simplifies further to x+9.
Write Final Factored Form: Write the final factored form.The final factored form is (x+4)2(x+9).
