What is the greatest common factor of 72x^2y and 18xy?

The GCF is the number or variables you can get out of a a term or multiple terms, when you get it out you have to be able to multiply it again and get the same terms as before for example the GCF of here is 18xy because both numbers can be divided in 18 and they both share 1 x and 1 y in common... Now divide to get your answer put the GCF outside the parenthesis and the numbers divided inside

18xy(4x + 1) if you do distributive property and multiply it you will get 72x2y+18xy see they match so the GCF of "18xy" is correct....

Hope this helped

72x^2y and 18xy?
GCF = 18xy

72x^2y = 18xy(4x)

Derivative Property [Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [cf(x)] = c \cdot f'(x)$

Derivative Rule [Basic Power Rule]:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify.

$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} \bigg[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{4x}} \bigg]$

Step 2: Differentiate

Simplify: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} \bigg[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{4x}} \bigg] = \bigg( \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} \bigg)'$
Rewrite [Derivative Property - Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} \bigg[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{4x}} \bigg] = \frac{1}{2} \bigg( \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} \bigg)'$
Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Root Rewrite]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} \bigg[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{4x}} \bigg] = \frac{1}{2} \bigg( \frac{1}{x^\Big{\frac{1}{2}}} \bigg)'$
Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Rewrite]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} \bigg[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{4x}} \bigg] = \frac{1}{2} \bigg( x^\bigg{\frac{-1}{2}} \bigg)'$
Derivative Rule [Basic Power Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} \bigg[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{4x}} \bigg] = \frac{1}{2} \bigg( \frac{-1}{2} x^\bigg{\frac{-3}{2}} \bigg)$
Simplify: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} \bigg[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{4x}} \bigg] = \frac{-1}{4} x^\bigg{\frac{-3}{2}}$
Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Rewrite]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} \bigg[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{4x}} \bigg] = \frac{-1}{4x^\bigg{\frac{3}{2}}}$
