Question

Factor completely 8y^3+16y^2

Answer 1

take highest power of y and highest numerical value out: 8y^2

which leaves in the brackets y+2

ans= 8y^2(y+2)

Answer 2

Answer:

8y²(y + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find common factors for all terms within the parenthesis.

Factors of 8: 8, 4, 2, 1

Factors of 16: 16, 8, 4, 2, 1

Note that in these two factors, the greatest factor is 8 (for both) ∴ you will factor out 8

Next, find common factors of the variable (y):

y³ = y * y * y

y² = y * y

Both have two y's, so factor out two y's.

8y²(y + 2) is your answer
