Question

what is the completely factored form of xy3 – x3y? (the 3's are powers if it wasn't clear.)a. xy(y x)(y – x)b. xy(y – x)(y – x)c. xy(x - y)(x^2 xy y^2)d. xy(x - y)(y^2 xy x^2)thanks all!

Answer 1

The answer on Edgnuity is A

Explanation:

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The completely factored formed of the function xy^3 – (x^3)y would be xy (x+y) (x-y). It is factored as follows:

xy^3 – x^3y
xy (y^2 - x^2)
xy (x+y) (x-y)
