The answer is no, he did not arrive with the correct answer. With Isaiah claiming that 5a^2 is the GCF of the polynomial a^3 - 25a^2b^5 - 35b^4, he is incorrect because the constant '5' does not apply to the first factor of the equation which is 'a^3'.

Answer:

No, Isiah is not correct. The GCF of the coefficients is 1, and there are no common variables among all three terms of the polynomial. 5b4 is a factor of -25a2b5 and -35b4, but not a3. Additionally, a2 is a factor of a3 and -25a2b5, but not -35b4.
