Answer: -m*(x-3y)*(3x-y)
(*=multiply btw)
Explanation:
STEP 1:
Equation at the end of step 1
(m • ((x + y)2)) - 4m • (x - y)2
STEP2:
Equation at the end of step 2
m • (x + y)2 - 4m • (x - y)2
STEP3:
3.1 Evaluate : (x+y)2 = x2+2xy+y2
3.2 Evaluate : (x-y)2 = x2-2xy+y2
STEP4:
Pulling out like terms
4.1 Pull out like factors :
-3mx2 + 10mxy - 3my2 = -m • (3x2 - 10xy + 3y2)
Trying to factor a multi variable polynomial :
4.2 Factoring 3x2 - 10xy + 3y2
Try to factor this multi-variable trinomial using trial and error
Found a factorization : (x - 3y)•(3x - y)
