Answer 1

Favorite Answer

You factor out the common factor, in this case it is 5y^2

which leaves

5y^2(x^2-7x+12)

now you factor the square:

(x-4)(x-3)

bring the 5y^2 back and get

5y^2(x-4)(x-3)

Answer 2

Factor out 5y^2, and what's left will be an easy quadratic in x that you can factor by, for example, the FOIL method.

Answer 3

5x^2y^2 - 35xy^2 + 60y^2

=5y^2 * (x^2 - 7x + 12)

=5y^2 * (x - 4)*(x - 3)

Answer 4

5x2y2 -35xy2+ 60y2

5(x2y2- 7xy2+ 12y2)

5y2(x2-7x+12)
