factor 9x^8y^6+63y^6y^5+63xy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

factor GCF of 9xy\[=9xy \left( x^7y^5+7x^5y^4+7 \right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where are you getting x^7+y^5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there was an xy in the GCF so the exponents of 8 and 6 for the x and y in the first term have to go down by 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's why the 5 and 4 exponents in the second term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright so then i would answer this question how cuz im still lost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, the expression i wrote in my first post is as factored as it can be

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 9xy(x^7+y^5+7x^5+y^4+7)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still lost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this your given polynomial\[9x^8y^6+63y^6y^5+63xy\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now i notice that you have two factors of y in the second term; i initially read it as having x^6y^5
