Please show me how to factor completely.
2a^3b^2+2a^2b+ba^2b^3
Please show me how to factor completely.
2a^3b^2+2a^2b+ba^2b^3
----------
Check the coefficients: No common factor
Check the "a" factors: a^2 is a common factor
Check the "b" factors: b is a common factor
---------
Factor-out the common factor:
= a^2b(2b+2+b^3)
There is no furthre factoring.
