Explanation:

**Factored terms:**

1. 9rs

2. 14xy

3. 5x^2

4. 32x^2

5. 20x^2

6. 30x^2

7. 5x^3

8. 25y^3

9. 9xy

10. 12x^4

**Explanation:**

9rs: Cannot be factored further.

14xy: Can be factored as 2 * 7 * x * y.

5x^2: Can be factored as 5 * x * x.

32x^2: Can be factored as 2^5 * x^2.

20x^2: Can be factored as 2^2 * 5 * x * x.

30x^2: Can be factored as 2 * 3 * 5 * x * x.

5x^3: Can be factored as 5 * x * x * x.

25y^3: Can be factored as 5^3 * y * y * y.

9xy: Cannot be factored further.

12x^4: Can be factored as 2^2 * 3 * x * x * x * x.
