Factor out the GCF from the polynomial.
-$6 x ^ { 7 } - 48 x ^ { 5 }$
A) $6 x ^ { 6 } ( x - 8 x )$
B) $6 \left( x ^ { 7 } - 8 x ^ { 5 } \right)$
C) $x ^ { 7 } \left( 6 x ^ { 2 } - 48 \right)$
D) $6 x ^ { 5 } \left( x ^ { 2 } - 8 \right)$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms $6x^7$ and $48x^5$ is $6x^5$, factoring this out results in $6x^5(x^2 - 8)$.
