Answer:

The factor form is
$\Rightarrow 2x^2(5x^3-8x^2+2)$

Explanation:

Given:
10x^5-16x^4+4x^2

Factor the polynomial.

First we take common from each term and then factor trinomial

$\Rightarrow 10x^5-16x^4+4x^2$

$10x^5\rightarrow 2x^2\cdot 5x^3$

$16x^4\rightarrow 2x^2\cdot 8x^2$

$4x^2\rightarrow 2x^2\cdot 2$

So,
2x^2 common from each term and write rest inside the parentheses.

$\Rightarrow 2x^2(5x^3-8x^2+2)$

Hence, The factor form is
$\Rightarrow 2x^2(5x^3-8x^2+2)$
