Q. Factor completely.\newline21y2z2+35x3z4 -21 y^{2} z^{2}+35 x^{3} z^{4} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify GCF: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms in the expression 21y2z2+35x3z4-21y^{2}z^{2}+35x^{3}z^{4}.\newlineThe GCF is the product of the smallest powers of common factors in the terms. Both terms have a factor of 77 and z2z^2 in common.
  2. Factor out GCF: Factor out the GCF from the expression.\newlineThe GCF of 7z27z^2 is factored out, giving us 7z2(3y2+5x3z2)7z^2(-3y^2 + 5x^3z^2).
  3. Check for further factorization: Check if the remaining terms inside the parentheses can be factored further.\newlineThe terms 3y2-3y^2 and 5x3z25x^3z^2 do not have any common factors other than 11, and they are not special products (like a difference of squares or a perfect square trinomial), so they cannot be factored further.
  4. Write completely factored expression: Write down the completely factored expression.\newlineThe completely factored form of the expression is 7z2(3y2+5x3z2)7z^2(-3y^2 + 5x^3z^2).
