MEDAL/FAN find the complete factored form of the polynomial -2mn+5m^3n^2

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

thats my name

OpenStudy (joftheworld):

SORRY FOR THE ATTITUDE.. ITS JUST NO ONE CAME TO HELP.. but I need help MEDAL/FAN finding the complete factored form of the polynomial -2mn+5m^3n^2

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

Do you know how to factor?

OpenStudy (joftheworld):

kind of..

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

yeah so what I would do first is to order from greatest to least from degrees

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

wait could you retype your question again?

OpenStudy (joftheworld):

-2mn + 5m^3 n^2

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

so there's no plus between 5m^3 and n^2

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

?

OpenStudy (joftheworld):

no

OpenStudy (joftheworld):

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

okey then, so what is can do is undistribute like so mn(5m^2n-2)

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

yeah so this is the farest you can factor down mn(5m^2n-2)

OpenStudy (joftheworld):

it came out wrong..

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

thats weird..

OpenStudy (joftheworld):

I have to move on to the next question..

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

yeah same thing. 3ab^4(2a^2+3b)

OpenStudy (joftheworld):

thank you! can you help me out with 7 more?

OpenStudy (joftheworld):

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

Here look at the question what do they have in common?

OpenStudy (joftheworld):

I see two same variables with different exponents..

OpenStudy (help!!!!):

yup so do this, we can take out -5a^3( )

OpenStudy (joftheworld):

6ab^4-a?
