factor xy^4-y^2

Solution

factor

x y^{4} - y^{2}

Solution

y^{2} (x y^{2} - 1)

Solution steps

x y^{4} - y^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b + c} = a^{b} a^{c}

x y^{4} = y^{2} y^{2}

= y^{2} y^{2} - y^{2}

Factor out common term

y^{2}

= y^{2} (x y^{2} - 1)

Popular Examples

2 x^{3} - 18 x < x^{2} - 9

simplify (\frac{-2x)/(x-y)}{y/(x^2)}simplify

\frac{\frac{- 2 x}{x - y}}{\frac{y}{x ^{2}}}

factor sqrt(125)factor

125

simplify (x^{1/2})/(x^{3/4)}simplify

\frac{x ^{\frac{1}{2}}}{x ^{\frac{3}{4}}}

(5x-1)/3+2<= (x+4)/7

\frac{5 x - 1}{3} + 2 \leq \frac{x + 4}{7}
