A student factored 6 x^9y^2 +2xy as 2xy(3x^8y) What went wrong? Factor correctly.

In the problem that the student factored incorrectly, they left out a term. Even though you factored out 2xy, you still need to leave a 1 in its place, so you can distribute it back out. If you distribute out the incorrectly factored equation, you will get 6x^9y^2. If you distribute out 2xy(3x^8y+1), you will get 6x^9y^2+2xy.

This is a question of randomness so there really is no answer. I would guess 7 since that is the center page and you're more likely to open it up in or near the middle

I need the product of a^4xa^6

emmainna [20.7K]

A^4 * a^6

exponent rule : x^y * x^z = x^(y + z)

so, a^4 * a^6 = a^(4 + 6) = a^10
