Question

How do you factor `40c^11+16c^6`?

Answer 1

`color(maroon)(=.8c^6 (5c^5 + 2) " is the simplified form"`

Explanation:

`40c^11 + 16c^6`

`=> (color(red)(8) * 5)(color(red)(c^6) * c^5) + (color(red)(8) * 2) color(red)(c^6 " rewriting the common terms "`

`color(maroon)(=.8c^6 (5c^5 + 2) " is the simplified form"`
