Question

Factor completely. If the polynomial is not factorable, write prime.

18. 3a^2bx + 15cx^2y + 25ad^3y

Answer 1

in the first one, there are just two terms to consider
6a^2b^2 + 18ab^3

both terms have a factor of 6...so factor it out as
6(a^2b^2 + 3ab^3)

now both terms have a's...an a^2 and the 2nd term has just an a...so you can only factor out an a
6a(ab^2 + 3b^3)

now we can look at the b's
the first term has a b^2 and the 2nd term has a b^3...so we can pull out at least 2 factors of b, or a b^2
6ab^2(a + 3b)

Answer 2

\[3a^2bx+23ad^3y+15cx^2+y\]

try this.
