Short Answer

Expert verified

The obtained factor for the expression −4x3y5−x2y3+12xy4is, -xy34x2y2+x-12y.

Step by step solution

01

Given expression is,

−4x3y5−x2y3+12xy4.

The objective is, we need to find the factor for this expression.

02

Step 2 First find the GCF for the given expression.

−4x3y5=-2×2×x×x×x×y×y×y×y×y−x2y3=-1×x×x×y×y×y12xy4=2×6×x×y×y×y×y

The GCF is,xy3.

03

In the given expression, rewrite the each term using GCF.

−4x3y5−x2y3+12xy4=xy3-4x2y2+xy3-x+xy312y

Now factor out the GCF.

−4x3y5−x2y3+12xy4=xy3-4x2y2-x+12y=-xy34x2y2+x-12y

The obtained factor is,-xy34x2y2+x-12y

04

Step 4 Let us check the answer by multiplying the factors.

-xy34x2y2+x-12y=−4x3y5−x2y3+12xy4

which is true.
