the gcf isn't 4. 9/4 = 2.25
OpenStudy (aripotta):
wanna give the gcf another try?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
9?
OpenStudy (aripotta):
yup.
OpenStudy (aripotta):

4AND 1
OpenStudy (aripotta):
you have to include the variable and exponent. i can't be here for all your questions lol. what's the full answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4y^2+1?
OpenStudy (aripotta):
yes :) and remember to put the 9y^2 in front of the parentheses
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks.

no problem
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this one has 3: 6b^4+3b^3+15b^2 i think gcf is 3.
OpenStudy (aripotta):
yea, it's 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you add exponents right?
OpenStudy (aripotta):
you have to see what the smallest exponent is, and that would be included on your gcf

3
OpenStudy (aripotta):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (aripotta):
dunno. what do you think?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2b^2+3?

OpenStudy (aripotta):
no. that would give you 3b^2(2b^2 + 3) which, once you check it, would give you 6b^4 + 9b^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well i dont know then.
OpenStudy (aripotta):
c'mon, you knowwwwww
OpenStudy (aripotta):
i haven't been helping you at all, have i?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you have i just am a very slow learner.

would it be 3b^2+3?
OpenStudy (aripotta):
no, 2b^2 (what you had to begin with) was right, but 3 isn't
