Question 2(Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

(Factoring Algebraic Expressions MC)
Rewrite 1/6x³y + 5/6xy² using a common factor.
xy(x² +5y)
xy(3x² +15y)
xy(x² +5y)
x³y²(y+5x)

Answer 1

xy(x² +5y)

Explanation:

Rewrite 1/6x³y + 5/6xy² using a common factor.

To simplify, multiple each term by 6:

6 × (1/6x³y) + 6 × (5/6xy²)

=
`x^(3) y+5xy^(2) \\`

take the common term xy and

=
`xy(x^(2) +5y)`
