Completely factor the following expression:
(9x^5 + 25x^3 - 4) - (x^5 - 8x^3 - 4)
(9x^5+25x^3- 4) - (x^5 - 8x^3 - 4) = (9-1)x^5 + (25+8)x^3 + (-4+4) = 8x^5 + 33x^3
Hey there, Guest!
So, first, we need to distribute the negative sign:
=9x5+25x3−4+−1(x5−8x3−4)
=9x5+25x3+−4+−1x5+−1(−8x3)+(−1)(−4)
=9x5+25x3+−4+−x5+8x3+4
Then, we can combine like terms:
=9x5+25x3+−4+−x5+8x3+4
=(9x5+−x5)+(25x3+8x3)+(−4+4)
=8x5+33x3
In case you missed that, the answer is:
=8x5+33x3
Hope this helped! :)
