Q. Factor the expression completely.x2y2+xyAnswer:
Identify common factors: Identify common factors in the terms of the expression. The expression is x2y2+xy. We can see that both terms have 'xy' as a common factor.
Factor out common factor: Factor out the common factor from each term.We factor xy out of each term to get xy(xy+1).
Check for further simplification: Check if the factored expression can be simplified further.The expression inside the parentheses, xy+1, cannot be factored further since it has no common factors and is not a special polynomial (like a difference of squares or a perfect square trinomial).
Write final factored expression: Write the final factored expression.The completely factored form of the expression is xy(xy+1).
