Answer 1

An expression is shown below:

3x^3y + 12xy - 9x^2y - 36y

Part A: Rewrite the expression so that the GCF is factored completely. Show the steps of your work. (3 points)

Part B: Rewrite the expression completely factored. Show the steps of your work. (4 points)

Part C: If the two middle terms were switched so that the expression became 3x^3y - 9x^2y + 12xy - 36y, would the factored expression no longer be equivalent to your answer in part B? Explain your reasoning. (3 points)
