Answer:
Stanley factored it correctly.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]11x^3y^5[/tex]
We are given that Marie and Staley factored the above expression as follows and we are to determine who factored it correctly:
Marie: [tex]11x^3y^5[/tex] ---> [tex](8x^3)(3y^5)[/tex]
[tex](8x^3)(3y^5)[/tex] = [tex]24x^3y^3[/tex] so this is wrong.
Stanley: [tex]11x^3y^5[/tex] ---> [tex](11xy)(x^2y^4)[/tex]
[tex] ( 1 1 x y ) ( x ^ 2 y ^ 4 ) [/tex] = [tex] 1 1 x ^ 3 y ^ 5 [/tex]
Therefore, Stanley factored it correctly.
