Factor, Using the Given Factor $$4 ( 2 x - 1 ) ^ { - 3 / 4 } + 8 ( 2 x - 1 ) ^ { 1 / 4 } + 16 ( 2 x - 1 ) ^ { 5 / 4 } ; \quad 4 ( 2 x - 1 ) ^ { - 3 / 4 }$$

question 399

Multiple Choice

Factor, using the given factor. Assume all variables represent positive real numbers.
- $$4 ( 2 x - 1 ) ^ { - 3 / 4 } + 8 ( 2 x - 1 ) ^ { 1 / 4 } + 16 ( 2 x - 1 ) ^ { 5 / 4 } ; \quad 4 ( 2 x - 1 ) ^ { - 3 / 4 }$$

• A) \(8 ( 2 x - 1 ) ^ { - 3 / 4 } \left( 4 x ^ { 2 } - 6 x - 1 \right)\)
• B) \(8 ( 2 x - 1 ) ^ { - 3 / 4 } \left( 4 x ^ { 2 } - 6 x + 1 \right)\)
• C) \(4 ( 2 x - 1 ) ^ { - 3 / 4 } \left( 16 x ^ { 2 } - 12 x - 3 \right)\)
• D) \(4 ( 2 x - 1 ) ^ { - 3 / 4 } \left( 16 x ^ { 2 } - 12 x + 3 \right)\)
