Assume that any variable exponents represent whole numbers. Factor the greatest common factor from the polynomial.

Question:

Assume that any variable exponents represent whole numbers. Factor the greatest common factor from the polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Factorize

Express 9 as 3 * 3 and 6 as 3 * 2

Factorize 3 from both terms

Express x^4 as x^2 * x^2

Factorize x^2 from both terms

Hence, the factors of   are

 and  

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.
