Another factoring question

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

\(x^{3}y-4xy\) <---- this is the thing I have to factor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, what is common to both terms?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

based from what phi told me in my previous question, I'm assuming that it would be acceptable to do this: \(xy(x^{2}-4)\)

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

and @anitasonia98 to answer your question, both terms have x and y in common

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

right ^_^ so once i have \(xy(x^{2}-4)\), that turns into xy(x-2)(x+2)

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

I believe that xy(x-2)(x+2) is my final form. Am I correct?

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

yes! Many thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's right :)

HanAkoSolo (jamierox4ev3r):

this factoring business isn't as complicated as I recall :P

imqwerty (imqwerty):
