4

:

Pulling out like terms

4.1 Pull out like factors :

15x2y3 + 10xy2 - 5xy = 5xy • (3xy2 + 2y - 1)

Trying to factor a multi variable polynomial :

4.2 Factoring 3xy2 + 2y - 1

Try to factor this multi-variable trinomial using trial and error

Factorization fails

Final result :

5xy • (3xy2 + 2y - 1)
