Question

$-20x^2 - 6x^5$

Explanation:

Step1: Find the GCF of coefficients and variables

The GCF of -20 and -6 is -2. For the variable part, the GCF of \(x^2\) and \(x^5\) is \(x^2\).

Step2: Factor out the GCF

Factor out \(-2x^2\) from \(-20x^2 - 6x^5\):
\[
-20x^2 - 6x^5=-2x^2(10 + 3x^3)
\]

Answer:

\(-2x^2(10 + 3x^3)\)
