factor 3x^4-12x^3

Solution

factor

3 x^{4} - 12 x^{3}

Solution

3 x^{3} (x - 4)

Solution steps

3 x^{4} - 12 x^{3}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b + c} = a^{b} a^{c}

x^{4} = x x^{3}

= 3 x x^{3} - 12 x^{3}

Rewrite

12

as

3 \cdot 4

= 3 x x^{3} - 3 \cdot 4 x^{3}

Factor out common term

3 x^{3}

= 3 x^{3} (x - 4)
