First, we identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms in the given polynomial, which is 15u3 (there are two factors of 15 and one factor of u3 in both terms).
We can then rewrite the polynomial as:
30u5 - 45u3 = 15u3 * (2u2 - 3)
Therefore, the factored form of the polynomial is 15u3(2u2 - 3).
Factor out the greatest common factor. If the greatest common factor is 1, just retype the polynomial.
30u5–45u3
