factor 4x^2y-12xy^2

Solution

factor

4 x^{2} y - 12 x y^{2}

Solution

4 x y (x - 3 y)

Solution steps

4 x^{2} y - 12 x y^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

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

x^{2} y = xx y, x y^{2} = x yy

= 4 xx y - 12 x yy

Rewrite

- 12

as

3 \cdot 4

= 4 xx y + 3 \cdot 4 x yy

Factor out common term

4 x y

= 4 x y (x - 3 y)
