Question

What is the greatest common factor of -15a^3b2 - 45^a2b^2 - 33ab^2?
A) 3ab

B) -3ab

C) Both A and B

D) Neither A nor B

Answer 1

Neither a or b, the GCD is 3ab^2 and -3ab^2

That is, of course, provided the second term is -45a^2b^2 and not what you typed.

-15a^3b^2 - 45a^2b^2 - 33ab^2 = 3ab^2(-5a^2 - 15a - 11)
-15a^3b^2 - 45a^2b^2 - 33ab^2 = -3ab(5a^2 + 15a +11
