What are the factors in the expression \(4x(3x^2+5y)\)
why do you need help?
The factors are 4x and ( 3x^2 + 5y)
Can I ask why the factors aren't 4x, 3x^2, and 5y?
@Guest becajse 3x^2 and 5y do not share a common integer term nor variable. Both of their coefficients are prime, too. This means that they cannot be factored out, and note that + does not define factors. Multiplying does.
