Factor by Grouping 4x^(a+2)+20x^a

$4 x^{a + 2} + 20 x^{a}$

Step 1

The polynomial cannot be factored using the grouping method. Try a different method, or if you aren\'t sure, choose Factor.

The polynomial cannot be factored using the grouping method.

Step 2

Factor $4$ out of $4 x^{a + 2} + 20 x^{a}$ .

Factor $4$ out of $4 x^{a + 2}$ .

$4 (x^{a + 2}) + 20 x^{a}$

Factor $4$ out of $20 x^{a}$ .

$4 (x^{a + 2}) + 4 (5 x^{a})$

Factor $4$ out of $4 (x^{a + 2}) + 4 (5 x^{a})$ .

$4 (x^{a + 2} + 5 x^{a})$
