question 39

Multiple Choice

Factor the trinomial. Factor out the GCF first. $$24 x ^ { 6 } - 10 x ^ { 4 } - 21 x ^ { 2 }$$

• A) \(2 x ^ { 2 } \left( 6 x ^ { 2 } - 7 \right) \left( x ^ { 2 } + 3 \right)\)
• B) \(\left( 6 x ^ { 2 } - 7 \right) \left( 4 x ^ { 2 } + 3 \right)\)
• C) \(x ^ { 2 } \left( 6 x ^ { 2 } - 8 \right) \left( 4 x ^ { 2 } - 3 \right)\)
• D) \(x ^ { 2 } \left( 6 x ^ { 2 } - 5 \right) \left( 4 x ^ { 2 } - 3 \right)\)
• E) \(x ^ { 2 } \left( 6 x ^ { 2 } - 7 \right) \left( 4 x ^ { 2 } + 3 \right)\)
