Question

Factor completely, show all work.

Answer 1

First find the GCF ( greatest Common Factor):-

GCF of 16, 24 and 48 is 8

GCF of the x terms is x^3

GCF of the y terms is y^4

So GCF is 8x^3y^4

Factoring:-

= 8x^3y^4 ( 2x^6y^4 - 16x^2y^2 + 3) answer

Answer 2

16 x^9y^8 -48x^5y^6 +24x^3y^4

factor out an 8x^3y^4

8x^3y^4(2x^6y^4 - 6x^2y^2 +3)

Answer:

8x^3y^4(2x^6y^4 - 6x^2y^2 +3)
