Simplifying
4x2y + 12xy2 + 9y3
Reorder the terms:
12xy2 + 4x2y + 9y3
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), 'y'.
y(12xy + 4x2 + 9y2)
Factor a trinomial.
y((2x + 3y)(2x + 3y))
Final result:
y(2x + 3y)(2x + 3y)
how to factor
(8 x^3 y^2)+ (4 x^2 y)- 12 x y^3.
I could factor out 4xy from each term. Is that all I can do?
