Here-
Equation at the end of step 1 :
((9 • (x2)) - 4xy) - 2y2 Step 2 :
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(32x2 - 4xy) - 2y2Step 3 :
Trying to factor a multi variable polynomial :
3.1 Factoring 9x2 - 4xy - 2y2
Final result :
9x2 - 4xy - 2y2
the answer would be y = 2x + 1
It’s the 3 and for number 2 it’s 1
