Solution

Let us first find the HCF of all the terms of the given polynomial $3 x^{2} + 6 x^{2} y + 9 x y^{2}$ by factoring the terms as follows:

$3 x^{2} = 3 \times x \times x 6 x^{2} y = 3 \times 2 \times x \times x \times y 9 x y^{2} = 3 \times 3 \times x \times y \times y$

Therefore, $H C F = 3 \times x = 3 x$

Now, we factor out the HCF from each term of the polynomial $3 x^{2} + 6 x^{2} y + 9 x y^{2}$ as shown below:

$3 x^{2} + 6 x^{2} y + 9 x y^{2} = 3 x (x + 2 x y + 3 y^{2})$

Hence, $3 x^{2} + 6 x^{2} y + 9 x y^{2} = 3 x (x + 2 x y + 3 y^{2})$ .
