Please help me factor this Trinomial.



Step 2. Find the common factor for x-terms with the highest exponent and in this case it is x.

2x%5E3y%2B4x%5E2y%5E2-30xy%5E3=2x%28x%5E2y%2B2xy%5E2-15y%29

Step 3. Find the common factor for y-terms with the highest exponent and in this case it is y.

2x%5E3y%2B4x%5E2y%5E2-30xy%5E3=2xy%28x%5E2%2B2xy-15%29

Step 4. ANSWER: 2x%5E3y%2B4x%5E2y%5E2-30xy%5E3=2xy%28x%5E2%2B2xy-15%29

I hope the above steps were helpful.
