Factor the expression completely.
x^2y^4-x^5y^2

The answer to your question is x²y²(y² - x³)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem look for the Greatest common factor of both terms.

The maximum x that can be factor = x²

The maximum y that can be factor = y²

Factor the binomial by common factor technique

                            x²y²(y² - x²)

It can not factor more.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
