question
factor the expression completely.
10 + 5x⁵

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the GCF

Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 10 and \(5x^5\). The GCF of 10 and 5 is 5, and there is no common variable factor. So the GCF is 5.

Step2: Factor out the GCF

Factor out 5 from each term: \(10 + 5x^5 = 5\times2 + 5\times x^5 = 5(2 + x^5)\)

Answer:

\(5(2 + x^5)\)
