Answers
Answer:
1.1 Factoring y2-6y-40
The first term is, y2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -6y its coefficient is -6 .
The last term, "the constant", is -40
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -40 = -40
Step-2 : Find two factors of -40 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -6 .
-40 + 1 = -39
-20 + 2 = -18
-10 + 4 = -6 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -10 and 4
y2 - 10y + 4y - 40
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
y • (y-10)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
4 • (y-10)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(y+4) • (y-10)
Which is the desired factorization
Equation at the end of step
1
:
(y + 4) • (y - 10) = 0
