Factor the expression completely.

Question

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:

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