Three problems were factored, do the polynomials have a common factor?
1.) y^2(3x+4)(x-2)
2.) (x+5)^2
3.) (x+6) (x-6)

(Please Explain, and I always give medals for the best answer and Fan everybody.)

When you factor a polynomial, what's left over are the factors of each.  The factors of the first expression are y^2, (3x + 4) and (x - 2).  The factors of the second expression are (x + 5)(x + 5).  The factors of the third expression are (x + 6)(x - 6).  Are any of these factors common among the polynomials?  In other words do you see any of these factors occurring in all 3 polynomials?  I don't, so that means that the polynomials have no factors in common.  That's the best I can do with that.  I don't see any other solution.
