x2y2(3x25y2)
x^2y^2*(3x^2-5y^2)

Step by Step Solution

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   (((15•(x3))•y)-52xy3) 
  (—————————————————————•x)•y
             5          

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

   (((3•5x3) • y) - 52xy3) 
  (——————————————————————— • x) • y
              5           

Step  3  :

            15x3y - 25xy3
 Simplify   —————————————
                  5      

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

 4.1     Pull out like factors :

   15x3y - 25xy3  =   5xy • (3x2 - 5y2) 

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :

 4.2      Factoring:  3x2 - 5y2 

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A2 - B2  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =
         A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
         A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
         A2 - B2

Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note :  - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check :  3  is not a square !!

Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the
difference of two perfect squares

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  (xy • (3x2 - 5y2) • x) • y

Step  5  :

Multiplying exponential expressions :

 5.1    x1 multiplied by x1 = x(1 + 1) = x2

Equation at the end of step  5  :

  x2y • (3x2 - 5y2) • y

Step  6  :

Multiplying exponential expressions :

 6.1    y1 multiplied by y1 = y(1 + 1) = y2

Final result :

  x2y2 • (3x2 - 5y2)
