What is the GCF of x5 and x2

x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^5 = x*x*x*x*x

x^2 = x*x

The greatest common factor is x*x or x^2

you ignore the remainder, therefore the answer is y = x+2

step-by-step explanation:

you have to divide the denominator by the numerator. you can use synthetic division or long division.

[-5] .     1 .     7 .     11

x + 2 + 1/x+5
