Question

Factor the expression completely.
xy^2+y

Answer 1

y(xy + 1).

Explanation:

xy^2 + y

y is common to both terms so we divide by y to get the factors:

(xy^2 + y ) / y

= y(xy + 1).

Answer 2

y(xy + 1)

Explanation:

given

xy² + y ← factor out the common factor of y from both terms

= y(xy + 1)
