a) 12 and (y^3 + 8)
b) 4 and 3(y^3 + 8)
c) 2 and 6(y^3 + 8)
d) 1 and 12(y^3 + 8)

Answer 1

The two factors of the term 12(y^3 + 8) in the expression are 12 and (y^3 + 8), which corresponds to option a).

Step-by-step explanation:

In the expression 72-5+12(y^3 + 8), the two factors of the term 12(y^3 + 8) are 12 and (y^3 + 8). Therefore, the correct answer is option a) 12 and (y^3 + 8). Factors are numbers or expressions that are multiplied together to get another number or expression. In this case, the number 12 is multiplied by the expression (y^3 + 8) to form the term 12(y^3 + 8).
