3x3y + 12xy - 9x2y - 36y

Part A: Rewrite the expression so that the GCF is factored completely. Show the steps of your work.

Part B: Rewrite the expression completely factored. Show the steps of your work.

Part C: If the two middle terms were switched so that the expression became 3x3y - 9x2y + 12xy - 36y, would the factored expression no longer be equivalent to your answer in part B? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Can you rewrite this using the equation editor?

Answer 2

sorry i meant \[3x ^{3}y-9x ^{2}y+12xy-36y\]

Answer 3

(3x^3y -9x^2y) +(12xy -36y) = 3x^2y(x -3) +12y(x -3) =

now continue it..

Answer 4

3x^3y-9x^2y +12yx-36y?

Answer 5

Look carefully at all four terms of the expression above. What number (integer / coefficient) do these terms have in common? Have these four terms any literal in common? If so, which? Factor out both the numerical and the literal (letter) common factors.

Answer 6

@DW101796
please i need to get this done asap.

Answer 7

3y(x-3)(x^2+4)?

Answer 8

Sorry to sound heartless (I'm not), but if you're unwilling to take the time to learn this material (as by acting on my simple and reasonable suggestions), I'm unable to do much for you.

Answer 9

The factor common to all four of the original four terms is: ???
Factoring that out of the given expression leaves you with the expresion: ????
