Identify GCF: Identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms in the expression −29y6z4−33x3y4z6.The GCF is the product of the smallest powers of common factors in each term. Both terms have a common factor of y4 and z4, and the numerical GCF is 1 since 29 and 33 are both prime numbers and do not share any common factors.
Factor Out GCF: Factor out the GCF from each term in the expression.The GCF we found is y4z4, so we factor it out:−29y6z4−33x3y4z6=y4z4(−29y2−33x3z2)
Check Further Factoring: Check if the remaining expression inside the parentheses can be factored further.The terms inside the parentheses, −29y2 and −33x3z2, do not have any common factors other than 1, and neither term is a perfect square or fits any special factoring patterns. Therefore, the expression inside the parentheses cannot be factored further.
Write Final Form: Write down the final completely factored form of the original expression.The completely factored form of the expression is y4z4(−29y2−33x3z2).
