Question 102704: Factor completely:
b^3m^3-14b^2m^2+49bm
Here are my options, which do not help me at all:(
a) bm9b^2m^2-14bm+49)
b) bm(bm-7)(bm+7)
c) m(b^3m-7b^2)
d) bm(bm-7)^2
Please help me understand this a little better. Thank you, thank you.

First you will factor out any commons, they each have bm, so we will factor that out;

Now factor the equation;
bm(bm-7)(bm-7)

Hope this helps
:)
