Question

Check my work?:
find the greatest common factor:
8xy5 − 16x2y3 + 20x4y4

Answer 1

Answer:
The greatest factor of the coefficients 8,16,20 is 4.
All of the numbers have an "x". Thus, the greatest common factor must have an x... so far its 4x.
Now, if you look at the "y" variable, you can see that the first set is y^5, the other is y^3, and the last one is y^4.
When multiplying variables, for example, a^2 * a^6, you add the exponents, so the result will be a^8. Now, the only variable that you would be able to add to all of the sets to give you 8xy5 − 16x2y3 + 20x4y4 , would be y^3

So the factor of this equation is 4xy^3

Answer 2

your correct

Answer 3

@Nnesha

Answer 4

well, fine i was just saying you was right jeez -_- what such greatful people these days

Answer 5

yeah that's right

Answer 6

Yeah but I have more experience with Nnesha

Answer 7

lowest degree of x is just 1 so yeah x^1 is common factor
lowest degree of y is 3 so yeah y^3 is a common factor
8 and 16 and 20 are divisible by 4 so yeah

Answer 8

See ik what i was doing. but whateva. -_-

Answer 9

If your math was as bad as your grammar then clearly I'd be correct in assuming you didn't know what you were talking about and moving on to someone more qualified to answer my question.

Answer 10

is that for meh ?? -.^

Answer 11

^No. It's for Sidney. She's getting all butt-hurt that I tagged you instead of just blindly assuming she was correct.

Answer 12

Sorry but I have to agree, Sidney's grammar was just painful to read.

Answer 13
