Question #6c882

Answer 1

`-1(b^2+a^b+24)`

Explanation:

The only factor that the three terms share is `-1`, and there isn't a good way to separate them so that it produces two binomials which multiply together to produce `-b^2-a^b-24`. Therefore, the only factoring that can be done is to pull the `-1` factor out of all 3 terms like this:

`-b^2 - a^b - 24`

`(-1)(b^2) + (-1)(a^b) + (-1)(24)`

`-1(b^2+a^b+24)`
