Factoring an expression of exponents with the same base


	Algebra I: Factoring an expression of exponents with the same base

In this part of mini-lesson you'll learn how to factor an expression of exponents with the same base. Generally speaking, for factoring exponents with the same base, we need to take a common factor out of the expression, and this factor is the base raised to the lowest exponent. For example, x² is the common factor in the expression x² + x⁶, and hence the expression can be rewritten as x²(1 + x⁴).
