Question

How do I Factor completely ?

Answer 1

The answer is (y-4)x(y-8)

Answer 2

Y² - 12y + 32

The middle term must be written in such a way that the sum of two numbers is -12y and the product is 32y²

The two such numbers are -4y and -8y

So, we can write:

y² - 4y - 8y + 32

= y(y - 4) - 8(y - 4)

= (y - 4)(y - 8)

So, option B gives the correct answer
