Question

Factor each polynomial using the GCF. If there is no CF other than 1 and the polynomial cannot be factored, so state. 30x^4y+15x^3y+5x^2y

Answer 1

We need to figure out what the biggest value that each term can be divided by is

Answer 2

in this case, 5, so factor a 5 out of each term

5(6x^4+3x^3y+x^2y)

Answer 3

Oh ok I had that one all wrong

Answer 4

Then since each term has 2 x's and a y, we can factor an x^2y out of everything

Answer 5

ok then i had it right lol math confuses me

Answer 6

5x^2y(6x^2+3x+1)
