Factor out the GCF #2, 32v^6 + 8vu - 80v^2

The video tutorial explains how to factor expressions by identifying the greatest common factor (GCF) of numbers and variables. It demonstrates the process of factoring out the GCF from terms and simplifying the expression using rules of exponents. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the divisibility of numbers and the application of exponent rules to factor variables effectively.

• 16

• 4

• 8

• 2

When factoring out the greatest common factor from an expression, what operation is performed on each term?

• Division

• Addition

• Multiplication

• Subtraction

Which rule of exponents is used when factoring out variables from an expression?

• Divide exponents when subtracting

• Add exponents when multiplying

• Subtract exponents when dividing

• Multiply exponents when adding

What is the smallest exponent that can be factored out from the terms V^6, V, and V^2?

• V^6

• V^2

• V^0

• V

Why is it unnecessary to write a '1' in front of a variable or as an exponent in a simplified expression?

• It is only used in complex expressions

• It is incorrect mathematically

• It is implied and does not change the value

• It makes the expression longer
