Question

Which is true about the polynomial –3xy2 + 5x2y?

Answer 1

Answer:

-xy(3y - 5x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The only thing I can think of is that it has a common factor of -xy on either side of the plus sign.

-3xy^2 + 5x^2y = -xy(3y - 5x)

Answer 2

Answer:

The given polynomial has degree 3

$xy(3y + 5x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$3xy^2 + 5x^2y$

The given polynomial has degree 3

we can factor the given expression

$3xy^2= 3*x*y*y$

$5x^2y = 5*x*x*y$

$3xy^2 + 5x^2y$

Both term has GCF xy, write xy outside and left out terms inside

$xy(3y + 5x)$
