Question

factor this here meganomial. 
12x³y+21x²y²+16xy³

anonymous · Answer

xy(12x²+21xy+16y²) so far

anonymous · Answer

the coefficients also have a common factor of 3

anonymous · Answer

I'm retarded.

dumbcow · Answer

meganomial...nice term, haven't heard that used

angela210793 · Answer

16/3???????? O.o

anonymous · Answer

i will certainly use it. right up there with "trickonometry"

anonymous · Answer

oh wait, 16doesnotdivideby3...

anonymous · Answer

oops no i was wrong sorry

anonymous · Answer

i forgive you satellite :)

anonymous · Answer

guess you got it right at the start!  good work!

anonymous · Answer

it doesn't simplify further?

anonymous · Answer

looks like a factored trinomial 0.o a²+ab+b²

anonymous · Answer

well, you're my last hope myin.

myininaya · Answer

$$12(16)=24(8)=6(32)=2(96)=4(48)=$$
i don't see we can factor this over the integers
but we could factor over the complex

myininaya · Answer

would you like me to do this 
i will do it on paper k?

anonymous · Answer

KK

angela210793 · Answer

i don't think it can b factorized more than u already have

anonymous · Answer

hmm, really?

angela210793 · Answer

tht's wht i think....w8 for Myini though

myininaya · Answer

ok i have produced a formula to factor things like this

myininaya · Answer

$$xy(x+\frac{21y+\sqrt{(21y)^2-4(12)(16y^2)}}{2 \cdot 12})(12x+\frac{21y-\sqrt{(21y)^2-4(12)(16y^2})}{2})$$

myininaya · Answer

we can probably simplify this alittle

anonymous · Answer

holy pellet. I don't think my teacher expects quadratic formula for this lol

myininaya · Answer

lol i don't think your teacher wants this either
but no you cannot factor this over the integers
