Assume that any variable exponents represent whole numbers. Factor the greatest common factor from the polynomial.

Question:

Assume that any variable exponents represent whole numbers. Factor the greatest common factor from the polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Factorize

Express 9 as 3 * 3 and 6 as 3 * 2

Factorize 3 from both terms

Express x^4 as x^2 * x^2

Factorize x^2 from both terms

Hence, the factors of   are

 and  

a)(x-2)^2+(y-1)^2=9
