Question

Factor the four-term polynomial. xz + x + yz + y

Answer 1

Factors are (x +y) ( z +1) .

Explanation:

Given : xz + x + yz + y

To find : Factor the four-term polynomial.

Solution : We have given xz + x + yz + y

Taking x common from first two terms and y from last two terms

x ( z + 1) + y( z + 1) .

On grouping

(x +y) ( z +1) .

Therefore, Factors are (x +y) ( z +1) .
