  1. Analyze Fernando's factorization: Analyze Fernando's factorization.\newlineFernando factored 45y645y^{6} as (9y3)(5y3)(9y^{3})(5y^{3}). Let's check if this factorization is correct by multiplying the factors back together.\newline(9y3)(5y3)=9×5×y3+3=45y6(9y^{3})(5y^{3}) = 9 \times 5 \times y^{3+3} = 45y^{6}.\newlineThis is the original expression, so Fernando's factorization is correct.
  2. Analyze Salma's factorization: Analyze Salma's factorization.\newlineSalma factored 45y645y^{6} as (3y)(15y5)(3y)(15y^{5}). Let's check if this factorization is correct by multiplying the factors back together.\newline(3y)(15y5)=3×15×y1+5=45y6(3y)(15y^{5}) = 3 \times 15 \times y^{1+5} = 45y^{6}.\newlineThis is also the original expression, so Salma's factorization is correct as well.
  3. Determine correct answer: Determine which answer choice is correct based on the previous steps.\newlineSince both Fernando and Salma factored 45y645y^{6} correctly, the correct answer is (C) Both Fernando and Salma.
