Question 87717: Hi! My question is on the topic of common monomial factors. The direction says to get the greatest common factor and factor the whole expression.
My question is:
3x^5y^2-21x^2y^7
I tried my very best to complete the question. Here is some of my work:
3x^5y^2-21x^2y^7
-> 3x^2y^2(x^3-7y^5)
I would appreciate all of your help.
Thanks.
