Question

Factor the GCF:

−12x4y − 9x3y2 + 3x2y3 A. −3x2y(4x2 + 3xy − y2)
B. 3x2y(−4x2 + 3xy − y2)
C. −3(4x2y + 3x3y2 − x2y3)
D. −3x2y(−4x2 − 3xy + y2)

Answer 1

Answer:−3x2y(4x2 + 3xy − y2)

Explanation:

i got it right on test

Answer 2

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the product of the greatest common factors of the numerical coefficients and the variables involving x and y.

-12(x^4)y - 9x³y² + 3x²y³

-3x²y(4x² + 3xy - y²)

Thus, the answer is letter A.
