Answer:
The factored difference is: [tex]2x(7x^3 - 10x + 5)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Difference in non factored form:
To find the difference in non-factored form, we subtract the common terms. So
[tex]24x^4 - 15x^2 + 6x - (10x^4 + 5x^2 - 4x) = 24x^4 - 10x^4 - 15x^2 - 5x^2 + 6x + 4x = 14x^4 - 20x^2 + 10x[/tex]
Greatest common factor:
Of the exponents: Between [tex]x^4, x^2[/tex] and [tex]x[/tex], it is the one with the lowest exponent, so x.
Between 14, 20 and 10:
14 - 20 - 10|2
7 - 10 - 5
So 2
The gcf is 2x, which means that the factored expression is:
[tex]2x(\frac{14x^4}{2x} - \frac{20x^2}{2x} + \frac{10x}{2x}) = 2x(7x^3 - 10x + 5)[/tex]
The factored difference is: [tex]2x(7x^3 - 10x + 5)[/tex]
