Chapter 6: Problem 31

Factor each polynomial using the greatest common factor. If there is no common factor other than 1 and the polynomial cannot be factored, so state. $$8 x^{2}-4 x^{4}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
Therefore, the factored form of the polynomial \(8x^{2}-4x^{4}\) using the greatest common factor is \(4x^{2}(2 - x^{2})\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify the GCF

Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) from each term in the given polynomial. The GCF of \(8x^{2}\) and \(-4x^{4}\) is \(4x^{2}\).
02

Factor out the GCF

Factor out the greatest common factor from the given polynomial to obtain an equivalent expression. In this case, factoring out \(4x^{2}\) from \(8x^{2}-4x^{4}\) we get \(4x^{2}(2 - x^{2})\)
03

Check the Solution

Check if the factored form can be simplified further. Here \(2 - x^{2}\) cannot be factored further, so the answer is left as it is.

Describe a strategy that can be used to factor polynomials.

You are about to take a great picture of fog rolling into San Francisco from the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge, 400 feet above the water. Whoops! You accidently lean too far over the safety rail and drop your camera. The height, in feet, of the camera after \(t\) seconds is modeled by the polynomial \(400-16 t^{2} .\) The factored form of the polynomial is \(16(5+t)(5-t) .\) Describe something about your falling camera that is easier to see from the factored form, \(16(5+t)(5-t),\) than from the form \(400-16 t^{2}\)
