Confirming whether Isiah's assessment ofGCF is correct or not:
The given polynomial is a325a2b535b4,The polynomial has the following three terms:a3,25a2b5,35b4.
The polynomial's three terms are distinct from one another because they share nothing.
For justification, terms a3,25a2b5 have a2 in common but that does not exist in the third term 35b4.
Therefore, it is evident from this that the three phrases have nothing in common other than 1.
Therefore, the greatest common factor GCF of the given terms of the polynomial is 1.
Hence, Isiah's determination of GCF is incorrect.
