Factor polynomial $$ -8x^{2}y^{2}-4xy^{2}+12y^{2} $$
Answer
$$ -8x^{2}y^{2}-4xy^{2}+12y^{2} = -4y^{2}(x-1)(2x+3) $$
Explanation
Step 1 :
Factor out common factor $ \color{blue}{ -4y^2 } $:
$$ -8x^2y^2-4xy^2+12y^2 = -4y^2 ( 2x^2+x-3 ) $$Step 2 :
$$ 2x^{2}+x-3 = ( x - 1 )( 2x + 3 ) $$Click here to generate an explanation on how to factor $ 2x^{2}+x-3 $.
