Factor out the GCF from the polynomial.
-$3 x ^ { 4 } - 24 x ^ { 2 }$
A) $x ^ { 4 } \left( 3 x ^ { 2 } - 24 \right)$
B) $3 x ^ { 2 } \left( x ^ { 2 } - 8 \right)$
C) $3 \left( x ^ { 4 } - 8 x ^ { 2 } \right)$
D) $3 x ^ { 3 } ( x - 8 x )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The greatest common factor (GCF) of $3x^4$ and $-24x^2$ is $3x^2$, so when factored out, the polynomial becomes $3x^2(x^2 - 8)$.
