Factor the coefficients:
-12 = (-1) (3) (2^2)
-9 = (-1) (3^2)
3=3
The greatest common factor (GCF) is 3
Next we find the GCF for the variable x.
x^4
x^3
x^2
The GCF is x^2.
Next GCF for variable y.
y
y^2
y^3
the GCF is y
Therefore the GCF is 3x^2y
To factor this out, we need to divide each term by the GCF,
(3x^2y) (-12x4y / (3x^2y) - 9x3y2 / (3x^2y) + 3x2y3 / (3x^2y))
= (3x^2y) (-4x^2-3xy+y^2)
if we wish, we can factor further:
(3x^2y) (y-4x) (x+y)
