Answer:
<h2>Wyatt</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
Greatest common factor is a largest possible number or function that divides all values of a function without a remainder. According to the students, only Wyatt wrote the correct expression that has 8c as its greatest common factor.
According to Wyatt expression;
8c-48cd
It can be seen that 8c is the greatest function that can go in both monomials (8c and 48cd). On factoring out 8c we have;
since no other values can go in the values in parenthesis (1-6d), this shows that 8c is the greatest common factor of the function hence only Wyatt wrote the correct expression compare to other students.
According to Xavier and Yang equation, c is cannot be factored from the equation thereby making both the wrong expression.
For Tanya function 32c+16cd, its greatest common factor is 16c not 8d making the equation wrong as well.
