Find the GCF of the terms of the polynomial
30x^7 + 8x^2
To find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of the terms of the polynomial 30x^7 + 8x^2, we need to determine the biggest common factor that can be factored out from each term.
The factors of the constant term, 30, are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, and 30.
The factors of x^7 are 1, x, x^2, x^3, x^4, x^5, x^6, and x^7.
The factors of 8x^2 are 1, 2, 4, 8, x, x^2.
From the factors listed above, we can see that the GCF is 1x^2 = x^2.
Therefore, the GCF of the terms of the polynomial 30x^7 + 8x^2 is x^2.
