Question

Factor the expression.

4x3y - 6x2y2 + 4x2y



I keep getting, 3x2y(2x - 3y + 1) but something is not correct.

Answer 1

How did you factor a 3 out of 4?

Answer 2

and a 3 taken out of 6 is not 3. It's 2

Answer 3

See what the common multiple between all the constants and variables. Which ones can you pull out?

Answer 4

I meant * 2x2y(2x 3y + 2)

Answer 5

.. :/

Answer 6

\[4x^3y-6x^2y^2+4x^2y\]
Is this the original equation?

Answer 7

If you pulled out a 2x^2 y what would you get as your factored form?

Answer 8

Yeah

Answer 9

One thing at a time:
\[x^2y(4x-6y+4)\]
\[2x^2y(2x-3y+2)\]
