Q. Hiro factored 14y3 as (7y2)(2y).Bilal factored 14y3 as (10y)(4y2).Which of them factored 14y3 correctly?Choose 1 answer:(A) Only Hiro(B) Only Bilal(C) Both Hiro and Bilal(D) Neither Hiro nor Bilal
Identify original expression: Identify the original expression that needs to be factored.The original expression is 14y3.
Check Hiro's factorization: Check Hiro's factorization.Hiro factored 14y3 as (7y2)(2y).Multiply Hiro's factors to see if they equal the original expression: (7y2)(2y)=14y3.
Check Bilal's factorization: Check Bilal's factorization.Bilal factored 14y3 as (10y)(4y2).Multiply Bilal's factors to see if they equal the original expression: (10y)(4y2)=40y3, which is not equal to 14y3.
Determine correct factorization: Determine who factored the expression correctly.Only Hiro's factorization results in the original expression 14y3, so Hiro factored it correctly.
