Factor expression

x^-15x+36

1 answer

To factor the expression, we first identify the common factor among the terms. In this case, the common factor is x.

Next, we consider the exponent on the x term. The first term, x^-15, can be rewritten as 1/x^15.

Therefore, the expression becomes:
1/x^15 * x + 36

To simplify further, we can combine the two terms involving x by finding a common denominator:
(1 + 36x)/x^15

Now the expression is fully factored as (1 + 36x)/x^15.
