Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!(SHOW ALL STEPS) Determine the factors x2y + 3x2 + 3y + 9

Answer 1

Answer:

(y+3) (x^2+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2y + 3x^2 + 3y + 9

I will factor by grouping

Taking the first two terms I can factor out x^2

Taking the last two terms I can factor out 3

x^2y + 3x^2     + 3y + 9

x^2(y+3)           + 3(y+3)

Now I can factor out (y+3)

(y+3) (x^2+3)

Since(x^2+3) and (y+3) cannot be factored , this is completely factored

Answer 2

Answer:

(y+3) (x^2+3)

x^2y + 3x^2 + 3y + 9

grouping

x^2y + 3x^2     + 3y + 9

x^2(y+3)           + 3(y+3)

(y+3) (x^2+3)
