Individual Practice:

1. Factor the polynomial [tex]$5 b^2 d + 10 c^2 d^4$[/tex] completely.

2. Factor the polynomial [tex]$2 a^3 x^4 z^5 - 6 a^3 x^3 z^6 + 3 a^6 x^2 z^6$[/tex] completely.



Answer :

Let's work through these factoring problems step-by-step.

### Problem 1:
Factor the polynomial [tex]\(5 b^2 d + 10 c^2 d^4\)[/tex] completely.

1. Identify any common factors:
- Both terms in the polynomial share a common factor of [tex]\(5d\)[/tex].

2. Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF):
- The GCF is [tex]\(5d\)[/tex].

3. Rewrite the polynomial:
[tex]\[5 b^2 d + 10 c^2 d^4 = 5d(b^2 + 2c^2 d^3)\][/tex]

So, the polynomial [tex]\(5 b^2 d + 10 c^2 d^4\)[/tex] factors completely to:

[tex]\[ 5d(b^2 + 2c^2 d^3) \][/tex]

### Problem 2:
Factor the polynomial [tex]\(2 a^3 x^4 z^5 - 6 a^3 x^3 z^6 + 3 a^6 x^2 z^6\)[/tex] completely.

1. Identify any common factors:
- All the terms share common factors of [tex]\(a^3\)[/tex], [tex]\(x^2\)[/tex], and [tex]\(z^5\)[/tex].

2. Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF):
- The GCF is [tex]\(a^3 x^2 z^5\)[/tex].

3. Rewrite the polynomial:
[tex]\[ 2 a^3 x^4 z^5 - 6 a^3 x^3 z^6 + 3 a^6 x^2 z^6 = a^3 x^2 z^5 (2 x^2 - 6 x z + 3 a^3 z) \][/tex]

So the polynomial [tex]\(2 a^3 x^4 z^5 - 6 a^3 x^3 z^6 + 3 a^6 x^2 z^6\)[/tex] factors completely to:

[tex]\[ a^3 x^2 z^5 (2 x^2 - 6 x z + 3 a^3 z) \][/tex]

### Final Answer:

The factored forms of the given polynomials are:

1. [tex]\[ 5 b^2 d + 10 c^2 d^4 = 5d (b^2 + 2c^2 d^3) \][/tex]

2. [tex]\[ 2 a^3 x^4 z^5 - 6 a^3 x^3 z^6 + 3 a^6 x^2 z^6 = a^3 x^2 z^5 (2 x^2 - 6 x z + 3 a^3 z) \][/tex]
