Answer:
Factoring out Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
[tex]6xy+12x^2y^2-4x^3y^3[/tex]
Factor out greatest common term [tex]2xy[/tex]:
[tex]\implies 2xy(3+6xy-2x^2y^2)[/tex]
Factoring by Grouping
[tex]20x^2+11x-3[/tex]
[tex]\implies a=20, b=11, c=-3[/tex]
[tex]\implies ac=20 \cdot -3=-60[/tex]
Find 2 two numbers that multiply to ac (-60) and sum to b (11)
Factors of 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60
Therefore, the two numbers are 15 and -4
Rewrite b as the sum of these 2 numbers:
[tex]\implies 20x^2+15x-4x-3[/tex]
Factorize the first two terms and the last two terms separately:
[tex]\implies 5x(4x+3)-1(4x+3)[/tex]
Factor out the common term (4x + 3):
[tex]\implies (5x-1)(4x+3)[/tex]
Factoring by Grouping
[tex]3x^2+3xa-2x-2a[/tex]
Factorize the first two terms and the last two terms separately:
[tex]\implies 3x(x+a)-2(x+a)[/tex]
Factor out the common term (x + a):
[tex]\implies (3x-2)(x+a)[/tex]
