Factor the following expression completely. 16x^5-x^3

x³ (4x + 1)(4x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 (4x-1)(4x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

16x^5-x^3

Factor out x^3

16* x^2*x^3 - x^3

x^3(16x^2 -1)

The term inside the parentheses is the difference of squares

a^2 - b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)

x^3 ( (4x)^2 -1^2)

x^3 (4x-1)(4x+1)

answer: both chords and diameters have two endpoints on a circle. diameters must intersect the center of a circle.
