You can put this solution on YOUR website!
As a reminder, let's review a basic rule of square roots:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+sqrt%28+4x+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Then, I can factor the 4 as:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+sqrt%28+2%2A2%2Ax+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "If you see a \"pair\" of terms, you can you can \"pull it out\" thus:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2%2Asqrt%28+x+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "For your problem then:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+sqrt%28+-48y%5E3x%5E4+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+sqrt%28+-%284%2A4%2A3%29yyyx%5E2x%5E2+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Notice, the pair of \"4's\", \"y's\", and \"x^2\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+4x%5E2y%2Asqrt%28+-3y+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
