Concept explainers
To find: A common factor between the polynomials.
Answer to Problem 61PFA
No common term
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
Find the factors of the polynomial
This can be factored because it is a prime polynomial.
Now, find the factors of the polynomial
Write the middle term
Make groups as shown below
Factored out the GCF from each group
Factored out the common term
The first polynomial can’t be written in factored form and the second polynomial can be written in factored form as
Hence, there is no common term other than 1 between the given polynomials.
