Question

Factor the expression completely.
minus, 24, x, minus, 6, x, to the power 5
−24x−6x
5

Answer 1

To factor the expression \(-24x - 6x^5\), follow these steps:

1. **Look for a common factor**: Both terms, \(-24x\) and \(-6x^5\), have a common factor of \(-6x\).

2. **Factor out the common factor**:
\[
-24x - 6x^5 = -6x(4 + x^4)
\]

So, the completely factored form of the expression \(-24x - 6x^5\) is:

\[
-6x(4 + x^4)
\]
