factor a^4b^2+a^2b^4

Solution

factor

a^{4} b^{2} + a^{2} b^{4}

Solution

a^{2} b^{2} (a^{2} + b^{2})

Solution steps

a^{4} b^{2} + a^{2} b^{4}

Apply exponent rule:

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

a^{4} b^{2} = a^{2} a^{2} b^{2}, a^{2} b^{4} = a^{2} b^{2} b^{2}

= a^{2} a^{2} b^{2} + a^{2} b^{2} b^{2}

Factor out common term

a^{2} b^{2}

= a^{2} b^{2} (a^{2} + b^{2})
