Question

I need help on
2x^7y^5+10x^5y^4+18xy. Is this the right answer 2x^2y(x^2y^4+5x^3y^3+9x)

Answer 1

factoring?

Answer 2

yes i did it and i got 2x^2y(x^2y^4+5x^3y^3+9x)

Answer 3

but i know im wrong

Answer 4

\[\Large 2x^7y^5+10x^5y^4+18xy\]Hmm I don't think you want to try pulling x^2 out of each term.
See how the last term has only an x^1?\[\Large 2y(x^7y^4+5x^5y^3+9x)\]So the 2y that you factored out looks good.
Let's see what we can do with the x's.

Answer 5

If you factor an x out of each term, the powers on x will decrease by 1, like you did with your y's.\[\Large 2xy(x^6y^4+5x^4y^3+9)\]

Answer 6

Something like that maybe? :o

Answer 7

I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THIS

Answer 8

IS THIS PERSON RIGHT?

Answer 9

:o

Answer 10

Is this person right

yes @zepdrix is correct, you can only pull out a "2" , "x", and "y"
