Answer:
The factored form of given polynomial is [tex]x^3(4x^2-5x-9)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the polynomial [tex]4x^5 - 20x^4 - 36x^3[/tex]
We have to factor the above polynomial completely.
[tex]4x^5 - 20x^4 - 36x^3[/tex]
Take [tex]x^3[/tex] common from each term.
[tex]x^3(4x^2-5x-9)[/tex]
Here, the quadratic polynomial is prime i.e it cannot be factored into lower degree polynomial. It has complex roots.
Hence, the factored form of given polynomial is [tex]x^3(4x^2-5x-9)[/tex]
