Factoring Using The Distributive Property Got Really Sick And Missed A Bunch Of School Would Really Appreciate The Help class=

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorizing using distributive property:

  •  Factorize the terms
  •  Find the Greatest Common factor.
  • Take GCF from both the terms.

1) 5a² - 15

5a²  = 5 * a²

15    = 5 * 3

GCF = 5

5a² - 15 = 5*a² - 5*3

            = 5a(a - 3)

5) 36x²y - 48xy²  

36x²y =  2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * x² * y

48xy² = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * x * y²

GCF = 2 * 2 * 3*x*y  = 12xy

36x²y - 48xy²  = (12xy * 3x)  - (12xy*4y)

                        = 12xy*(3x - 4y)

6)75b²c³ + 60bc⁶  

75b²c³ =  3 * 5 * 5 * b² * c³

60bc⁶  = 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 * b * c⁶

GCF = 3*5*b*c³ = 15bc³

75b²c³ + 60bc⁶ = [15bc³* 5b]  + [15bc³ * 4bc³]

                          = 15bc³ * (5b + 4bc³)
