Factor the GCF: 9x4y − 6x3y2 + 3x2y3.

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

is it written like this\[9x^4y-6x^3y^2+3x^2y^3\]

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

no... is the question written like that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh yes it is , sorry

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

np k so what can u factor out of all of these start with the numbers 9, 6, and 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I honestly don't know

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

what number can go into all of those?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

right so when you divide those numbers by three what do they become

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1, 2, 3

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

right now what can go into \[x^4, x^3, x^2\]

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

for this it's just the variable with the lowest exponent

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

ya there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't get it

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

ok \[x^2\]

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

can go into all three of those so right now the gcf is \[3x^2\]

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

now u just have to factor out the y

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

???

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

it's kinda hard to explain on line I can give you the answer but you won't know how to do it but I will give ti to you if you want?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

ok \[3x^2y\]

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

is that one of you choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

ok that's the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3x^2y(3x^2+2xy+y^2) or 3x^2y(3x^2-2xy+y^2)

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

the second one

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

here's a website for the future https://www.mathway.com/

OpenStudy (carolinar7):

Your still taking the test

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

no

OpenStudy (carolinar7):

or different one

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

a different one

OpenStudy (carolinar7):

I use math way all the tim too

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

yeah it helps especially when i have math homework from school

OpenStudy (carolinar7):

ya

OpenStudy (carolinar7):

I found about mathway this summer

OpenStudy (carolinar7):

Helps like alot

OpenStudy (laughoutloud):

a friend told me about it when i was in sixth grade

OpenStudy (carolinar7):

oh
