factor 2x^3y-4xy

Solution

factor

2 x^{3} y - 4 x y

Solution

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

Solution steps

2 x^{3} y - 4 x y

Apply exponent rule:

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

x^{3} y = x x^{2} y

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

Rewrite

- 4

as

2 \cdot 2

= 2 x x^{2} y + 2 \cdot 2 x y

Factor out common term

2 x y

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