For this case we have the following polynomial:


y^2 + 6y - 16

We must find two numbers that comply with:

1) The algebraic sum of the numbers is equal to 6.

2) The multiplication of the numbers is equal to -16.

Therefore, factoring the polynomial we have:


(y + 8) (y-2)

Answer:

The factored expression is:

b. (y + 8) (y - 2)
