Question

Factor the Following Expression using the greatest common monomial factor. (x^p+2)(y^p+2) + (x^p+2)(y^p-1) + (x^p+1)(y^p+1) + (x^p+1)(y^p-1)

Answer 1

As written, there is no common monomial factor. We assume you intend to factor ...
$x^{p+2}y^{p+2}+x^{p+2}y^{p-1}+x^{p+1}y^{p+1}+x^{p+1}y^{p-1}\\\\=(x^{p+1}y^{p-1})(xy^{3}+x+y^{2}+1)$
