Q. Factor completely:\newline10y421y2w213w4 10 y^{4}-21 y^{2} w^{2}-13 w^{4} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Recognize as quadratic in y2y^2: Recognize the polynomial as a quadratic in terms of y2y^2. The given polynomial 10y421y2w213w410y^{4}-21y^{2}w^{2}-13w^{4} can be treated as a quadratic equation in y2y^2, where y2y^2 is the variable and 1010, 21w2-21w^2, and 13w4-13w^4 are the coefficients.
  2. Factor using middle term: Factor the quadratic polynomial using the middle term factor method or any other suitable factoring technique.\newlineWe need to find two numbers that multiply to (10)(13w4)=130w4(10)(-13w^4) = -130w^4 and add up to 21w2-21w^2. These two numbers are 26w2-26w^2 and 5w25w^2.
  3. Rewrite middle term: Rewrite the middle term of the polynomial using the two numbers found in Step 22.\newline10y426y2w2+5y2w213w410y^{4}-26y^{2}w^{2}+5y^{2}w^{2}-13w^{4}
  4. Factor by grouping: Factor by grouping.\newlineGroup the terms to factor by grouping:\newline(10y426y2w2)+(5y2w213w4)(10y^{4}-26y^{2}w^{2}) + (5y^{2}w^{2}-13w^{4})\newlineNow factor out the common factors from each group:\newline2y2(5y213w2)+w2(5y213w2)2y^2(5y^2-13w^2) + w^2(5y^2-13w^2)
  5. Factor out common factor: Factor out the common binomial factor.\newlineBoth groups contain the common factor (5y213w2)(5y^2-13w^2), so we can factor this out:\newline(2y2+w2)(5y213w2)(2y^2 + w^2)(5y^2 - 13w^2)
  6. Check for further factorization: Check the factors to ensure they cannot be factored further.\newlineThe factors (2y2+w2)(2y^2 + w^2) and (5y213w2)(5y^2 - 13w^2) cannot be factored further over the integers. Therefore, the factorization is complete.
