Answer to Problem 1RP
Solution:The complete factor of the expression
Explanation of Solution
Given:The given expression is
Calculation:
To factor an expression, we look for the greatest common numerical factor that divides all coefficients of all the terms. Then check for the greatest common variable factor; look for the largest common exponent which is common to all the terms.
The greatest common numerical factor in
Also, the greatest common variable factor in
Now, factorize the expression separating highest common factor. The greatest common factor
Further the above expression is
The complete factor of the expression
Conclusion:
Thus, the complete factor of the expression
