Here's another one...
| Factor |
 |
This one has the same pattern:
Factor |
![2( x^2 + 3x )^5 - 6( x^2 + 3x )^4 = 2( x^2 + 3x )^4 [( x^2 + 3x ) - 3 ] = 2( x^2 + 3x )^4 ( x^2 + 3x - 3 )](images/26-tools-05.gif) |
YOUR TURN:
| Factor |
 |
Notice what's
happening in these examples.
Look at the last few:
|
 |
| The |
 |
on our
blobs
(5
and
4)
have a difference of
1... |
So, we factor out the lowest power
of the blob...
And then we simply slash the
exponent off of the other blob!
 |
| Factor the numbers
too! |
Giving us
![2( blob )^4 [( blob ) - 3 ]](images/26-tools-10.gif)
You'll catch on. It's easy!
