Log On
8y^3 + 2y - 4y^2
Okay, this is my thinking.
I know that 2 is the greatest common factor.
I also know that y is in all three, but the lowest is just y^1, so
my greatest common factor is going to be 2y
I don't know how to explain this, but I'll try:
2y ( 4y^2 + 1 - 2y)
I put the greatest common factor on the outer parenthesis. Then
I figured out what numbers I need to reach to know what numbers I would
have to put inside the parenthesis.
This is a little confusing for me. Please help me if you can. Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
