$\"10y%5E4+%2B+15y%5E6\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Since you didn't state what the problem asked you to do, I'm going to guess that you were
\n" ); document.write( "asked to factor this.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Look for the common factors in the two terms you were given. Notice that each term has a 5
\n" ); document.write( "in the number portion. In one case, 10, its 5 times 2 and in the other case, 15, its 5 times 3.
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore we can pull a factor of 5 out. Now look at the y terms. The smallest y term that
\n" ); document.write( "is common to both terms is $\"y%5E4\"$ . So we can pull that out. So let's pull a factor of
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5y%5E4\"$ from the two terms and our equivalent expression is:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%285y%5E4%29%2A%282+%2B+3y%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "You can multiply these terms together to get back to the original expression. The first
\n" ); document.write( "multiplication is $\"5y%5E4%2A2+=+10y%5E4\"$ and the second multiplication is $\"5y%5E4%2A3y%5E2+=+15y%5E6\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "In this second part remember that $\"y%5E4+%2A+y%5E2+=+y%5E6\"$ because you do this type of multiplication
\n" ); document.write( "by adding the exponents together.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this was what you were looking for. If not, post again and tell us what the book is
\n" ); document.write( "asking you to do. Most of the tutors don't have the books students are referring to,
\n" ); document.write( "so without a description, it's hard to guess what the exercise is.\r
