Explanation The given fraction is, 2 x 4 − 128 x 20 + 7 x − 3 x 2 . Change the numerator to 2 x 4 − 32 x 2 . Then, the new fraction becomes 2 x 4 − 32 x 2 20 + 7 x − 3 x 2 . Reduce the fraction 2 x 4 − 32 x 2 20 + 7 x − 3 x 2 into its lowest form as follows. 2 x 4 − 32 x 2 20 + 7 x − 3 x 2 = 2 x 2 ( x 2 − 16 ) − ( − 20 − 7 x + 3 x 2 ) = − 2 x 2 ( x + 4 ) ( x − 4 ) 3 x 2 − 12 x + 5 x − 20 = − 2 x 2 ( x + 4 ) ( x − 4 ) 3 x ( x − 4 ) + 5 ( x − 4 )
