Q. Factor the polynomial by its greatest common monomial factor.\newline20y615y4+40y2= 20 y^{6}-15 y^{4}+40 y^{2}=
  1. Identify GCF and lowest power: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the coefficients and the lowest power of yy in all terms.\newlineThe coefficients are 2020, 15-15, and 4040. The GCF of these numbers is 55.\newlineThe variable parts are y6y^6, y4y^4, and y2y^2. The lowest power of yy is y2y^2.\newlineSo, the greatest common monomial factor is 202000.
  2. Divide by GCF: Divide each term of the polynomial by the greatest common monomial factor.\newline20y6÷5y2=4y420y^6 \div 5y^2 = 4y^4\newline15y4÷5y2=3y2-15y^4 \div 5y^2 = -3y^2\newline40y2÷5y2=840y^2 \div 5y^2 = 8
  3. Write factored form: Write the factored form of the polynomial using the greatest common monomial factor.\newlineThe polynomial 20y615y4+40y220y^6 - 15y^4 + 40y^2 factored by the greatest common monomial factor 5y25y^2 is:\newline5y2(4y43y2+8)5y^2(4y^4 - 3y^2 + 8)
