\(\bf 2x^3y+18xy-10x^2y-90y\) <---see any here
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
so... let us take it out then :) what do you end up with?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2y(x−5)(x2+9)
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
well... hmm to be exact.. notice, all terms have a "y" as well, so 2y

hmmm how... did you get 2y(x−5)(x2+9)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
srry i just used mathway
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
hmm ok... did the instructions on the exercise said you meant to use mathway and write down the output?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

really have to get this done
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
so... take the GCF and see what you end up with :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
idk
OpenStudy (anonymous):
help plz
OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
\(\bf 2x^3y+18xy-10x^2y-90y\implies {\color{blue}{ 2}}x^3{\color{blue}{ y}}+{\color{blue}{ 2}}\cdot 9x{\color{blue}{ y}}-{\color{blue}{ 2}}\cdot 5x^2{\color{blue}{ y}}-{\color{blue}{ 2}}\cdot 45{\color{blue}{ y}}\)
so.. .take out the GCF... and see what's left
