Sure! Let's break down each problem to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) and factor the expressions. Remember, factoring involves expressing an expression as a product of its factors. Here, we will focus on factoring out the GCF for each expression.
### Problem 11: [tex]\(20 - 35n^2 - 20n^3\)[/tex]
1. Identify the GCF: The coefficients are 20, 35, and 20. The GCF of these numbers is 5.
2. Factor out the GCF:

[tex]\[
9x^6 - 63x^3 - 90x^2 = 9x^2(x^4 - 7x - 10)
\][/tex]
