Question

factorise y² minus 5y minus 24​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y^2 - 5y - 24 = 0

y = 5 ± √ 25 + 96 / 2

y = 5  ± √11^2 /2

y = 5 ± 11 /2

Answer 2

Answer:

(y-8)(y+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

i solved this by using splitting the middle term method

so

y^2-5y-24

=y^+3y-8y -24

=y(y+3)-8(y+3) (in y^2 and 3y y is the common term and in 8y and 24 8 is common term)

=(y-8)(y+3)
