Question

Y² + 2y - 48 ( factor the polynomial )

Answer 1

−8, 6

Explanation:

Write the factored form using these integers. (y−8) (y+6)

Answer 2

(y - 6)(y + 8)

Explanation:

Find two numbers that add to 2 and multiply to -48. Then put them in the form above. Afterwards, use FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) to check the factoring and you get: y² + 2y - 48

Have a great day! :)
