Question

cant seem to get this one right
factor completely 18x3y-33x2y2-30xy3

Answer 1

first find the GCF of the three terms;
this is

3xy
so factor:
3xy(6x^2 - 11xy - 10y^2)

Answer 2

The 2 and 3 at the end of the y's, are you saying it's to the second power and to the third power, or no lol?

Answer 3

now lets see if the expression in brackets will factoe:
= (3x + 2 )(2x - 5 )

Answer 4

so final answer is

3xy(3x+2)(2x-5)

Answer 5

That came out correct for me Jimmy, nice job. ;)

Answer 6

thanx - yes some guys write y^2 as y2 - it can be confusing
