Factor the polynomial using the negative of the greatest common factor.
-$- 14 x ^ { 3 } y ^ { 2 } - 4 x ^ { 3 } y + 8 x ^ { 2 } y$
A) $2 x ^ { 2 } y ( - 7 x y - 2 x + 4 )$
B) $- 2 x ^ { 2 } y ( 7 x y - 2 x + 4 )$
C) $- 2 x ^ { 2 } y ( 7 x y + 2 x - 4 )$
D) $- 2 x y \left( 7 x ^ { 2 } y + 2 x ^ { 2 } - 4 x \right)$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The greatest common factor of the terms is $2x^2y$. Factoring out $-2x^2y$ gives $-2x^2y(7xy + 2x - 4)$.
