PLEASE HELP QUICKLY;; WILL GIVE 40 POINTS!


Factor the polynomial by factoring out the GCF:


[tex]-6ax^{7}[/tex]+[tex]12a^{6}[/tex]−[tex]3a^{5}[/tex]


um, i tried solving this with a [tex]-3ax^{5}[/tex] GCF but i got it incorrect. help will greatly be appreciated.

Since only the first term has ax for coefficients the GCF cant be -3ax^5.

The GCF would be -3a

Factor -3a out of all the terms:

-3a(2x^7)-3a(-4a^5)-3a(a^4)

Now factor -3a out of the equation for the final answer:

-3a(2x^7-4a^5+a^4)
