Analyzing a Factored Polynomial
David found and factored out the GCF of the polynomial Which statements are true about David's work? Check
8064 - 32b2c3 + 48b4c. His work is below.
all that apply
1. GFC of 80, 32, and 48:16
The GCF of the coefficients is correct.
The GCF of the variable b should be b4 instead of
2 GCF of 64. 62and 64b2
b2
3 GCF of c3 and cc
The variable c is not common to all terms, so a
power of c should not have been factored out.
4 GCF of the polynomial: 16b²c
The expression in step 5 is equivalent to the given
5. Rewrite as a product of the GCF:
polynomial
16b²c(562) - 16b?c(202) + 16b2c(362)
In step 6, David applied the distributive property
Factor out GCF: 16b²c(552 - 202 + 3b?)
