QuestionFactor out the greatest common factor from the expression 8b24b+208b^2 - 4b + 20.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are asked to factor the greatest common factor (GCF) from the expression.
2. The expression is a polynomial with three terms: 8b28b^2, 4b-4b, and 2020.
3. The GCF is the largest expression that divides each term of the polynomial without leaving a remainder.

STEP 2

1. Identify the greatest common factor of the coefficients in the expression.
2. Factor out the greatest common factor from the expression.

STEP 3

Identify the coefficients of each term in the expression: 8b28b^2, 4b-4b, and 2020. The coefficients are 88, 4-4, and 2020.

STEP 4

Find the greatest common factor of the coefficients 88, 4-4, and 2020.
- The factors of 88 are 1,2,4,81, 2, 4, 8. - The factors of 4-4 are 1,2,41, 2, 4. - The factors of 2020 are 1,2,4,5,10,201, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20.
The greatest common factor is 44.

STEP 5

Factor out the greatest common factor 44 from each term in the expression:
8b24b+20=4(2b2b+5) 8b^2 - 4b + 20 = 4(2b^2 - b + 5)
The expression with the greatest common factor factored out is:
4(2b2b+5) \boxed{4(2b^2 - b + 5)}
