Question

Factor the following polynomial completely (y + 4)^2 -2(y+4) +1

Answer 1

so you start wi

Explanation:

Answer 2

y²+6y+9

Explanation:

Use FOIL(First, inner, outer, last) to distribute the (y+4)² to get to y²+8y+16. You will then distribute in -2(y+4) to get -2y-8. You will then combine like terms, adding in the +1, to get to your answer.
