Answer

$7xy(x^{2}+y^{2})(x-y)(x+y)$

Work Step by Step

$ 7x^{5}y-7xy^{5}\qquad$... factor out the common term, $7xy$ $=7xy(x^{4}-y^{4})\qquad$...recognize the difference of two squares: $a^{2}-b^{2}=(a-b)(a+b)$ $=7xy(x^{2}+y^{2})(x^{2}-y^{2})\qquad$...recognize the difference of two squares: $a^{2}-b^{2}=(a-b)(a+b)$ $=7xy(x^{2}+y^{2})(x-y)(x+y)$
