Question

Factor the polynomial by its greatest common monomial factor.

Answer 1

Answer:

$5 {y}^{2} (4 {y}^{4} - 3 {y}^{2} + 8)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to factor the common monomial out of :

$20 {y}^{6} - 15 {y}^{4} + 40 {y}^{2}$

The greatest common monomial fact is

$5 {y}^{2}$

We factor to get:

$5 {y}^{2} (4 {y}^{4} - 3 {y}^{2} + 8)$

The expression in the parenthesis has no common factor again since we factored the greatest common factor.
