Please explain answers

Anyway. What exactly do you mean by factoring?
Do you want to just “pull out” a variable?
Or do you ean synthetic division?
For synthethic division (the polynomial form of old school long division) you need to look it up in your book and WRITE out the examples as you follow the examples.
I’m not sure if those are the exact equations you want worked in 2x to the 2y-4xy-30y power…I’ve never ever seen something as convoluted as that in any of my math classes.
normal factoring is pul out variabls and combining exponents.
For example
9x^2y3 = (9x^y3)^2
2x^2y * 2x^(-4xy) * 2x^30y
= 2x^(2y-4xy-30y)
1) 9x^2y^3 -3x^y3^2 -15xy
3xy(3xy^2 – x^2y – 5) then factor using your method of choice
2) 2x^2y – 4xy – 30y
2y(x^2 – 2x – 15) factor from here
Good starter to these. DOuble check how you inputed your first question it doesn’t make sense 3x^y3^2 unless you are rasing x to the y power.
