Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To factor the expression 16w³ + 20w², first look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the two terms. Both terms have at least a factor of 4w²:

• 16w³ ÷ 4w² = 4w  
• 20w² ÷ 4w² = 5

Thus, factor the expression as follows:

16w³ + 20w² = 4w²(4w + 5)

The completely factored form is 4w²(4w + 5).
The expression factors to $$ 4w²(4w + 5) $$.
