factor each problem.
\n" ); document.write( "1) 6x^4y^5z^2 – 18x^4y^6z^4 + 24x^2y^5z^3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Note that we can factor out 6, leaving
\n" ); document.write( "6(x^4y^5z^2 – 3x^4y^6z^4 + 4x^2y^5z^3)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We can also factor out x^2 leaving:
\n" ); document.write( "6x^2(x^2y^5z^2 – 3x^2y^6z^4 + 4y^5z^3)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Factor out y^5
\n" ); document.write( "6x^2*y^5(x^2*z^2 – 3x^2*y*z^4 + 4z^3)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "And factor out z^2
\n" ); document.write( "6x^2*y^5*z^2(x^2 – 3x^2*y*z^2 + 4z)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "2) 16x^2 – 9
\n" ); document.write( "This is the \"difference of squares\" which factors to:
\n" ); document.write( "(4x - 3)(4x + 3); FOIL this and prove it to yourself \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
