factor completely 8x^5 + 2x^4 + 4x^2.
prime
2(4x5 + x4 + 2x2)
2x(4x4 + x3 + 2x)
2x2(4x3 + x2 + 2)

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF)

GCF = 2x^2

Factor out the GCF. (Write the GCF first, then in parenthesis, divide each term by the GCF)

2x^2(8x^5/2x^2 + 2x^4/2x^2 + 4x^2/2x^2)

Simplify each term in parenthesis

= C. 2x^2(4x^3 + x^2 + 2)

a function could be identified in 3 ways either on a chart,graph, or ordered pairs. first a function is that each point has its own. the rule is that there can be many x's to one y but there can not be 2 x's at different y's. so on a graph when you put a straight line through the y's there should be one dot only to be a function.
