\(\displaystyle 5n^5+25n^4+10n^2 \ = \ 5n^2(n^3+5n^2+2), \ Let \ f(n) \ = \ n^3+5n^2+2, \ then \ f(\pm1) \ \ne0 \ nor \ f(\pm2),\)

\(\displaystyle ergo, \ that's \ all \ she \ wrote, \ the \ pencil \ broke.\)

Please answer these questions.

What is a factor ?

If you do not understand a question, please let me know. I will look for lessons on-line.

The first thing you should look for in factoring is whether there is a factor that's common to all of the terms of the expression.

I see one.....


Start by removing that common factor, and then see if there's something further that you can do.

Please show us what you have done.
