Answer:
(x-5)(x^4+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.
x^4(x-5)+2(x-5)
Step 2:
Factor out the common term x-5.
(x-5)(x^4+2)
Done!
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Input:
x^5 - 5 x^4 + 2 x - 10
Alternate forms:
(x - 5) (x^4 + 2)
x ((x - 5) x^3 + 2) - 10
-(x - 5) (-x^2 + 2^(3/4) x - sqrt(2)) (x^2 + 2^(3/4) x + sqrt(2))
x=5
