Question 436336: Factoring out the opposite of the GCF
Factor each polynomial twice. First factor out the greatest common factor, and then factor out the opposite of the GCF.
Factor: 12u^5v^6 + 18u^2v^3 - 15u^4v^5 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First factor out the greatest common factor, and then factor out the opposite of the GCF.
Factor: 12u^5v^6 + 18u^2v^3 - 15u^4v^5
----------------
GCF: 3u^2v^3
----
Factored form:
3u^2v^3[4u^3v^3 + 6 - 5u^2v^2]
---------------------------------
