Question

What is the GCF for the polynomial 4x^3 - 2x^2y

Please helpppp

Answer 1

HI!!

Answer 2

your teacher is a bit confused,
\[4x^3-2x^2y\]does not have a greatest common factor, but the terms do

Answer 3

they both have a factor of 2, and also of \(x^2\) so the greatest common factor of the terms is \[2x^2\]

Answer 4

you can "factor it" as
\[2x^2(2x-y)\]

Answer 5

I have like multiply of these. could you help me through this? I do independent studies and my teacher honestly doesn't help at all. @misty1212
