factor 8x^3y + 38x^2y - 10xy

Sagot :

Answer:

2xy(x+5)(4x−1)

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

GCF = 2xy

2 Factor out the GCF. (Write the GCF first. Then, in parentheses, divide each term by the GCF.)

2xy (8x^3y + 38x^2y/2xy + −10xy/2xy)

3 Simplify each term in parentheses.

2xy(4x^2 +19x−5)

4 Split the second term in 4x^2+19x-5 into two terms.

2xy(4x^2 +20x−x−5)

5 Factor out common terms in the first two terms, then in the last two terms.

2xy(4x(x+5)−(x+5))

6 Factor out the common term x+5.

2xy(x+5)(4x−1)
