Question

3y^2-16y+16 could someone help me walk through this?

Answer 1

Slip and slide method
3y^2-16y+16
Multiply a by c value and replace as shown below
y^2-16y+48
Factor normally
(y-12)(y-4)
Divide both numbers by the previous a value
(y-12/3)(y-4/3)
(y-4)(y-4/3)
Because -4/3 does not become a whole number change the three to become the coefficient of y
(y-4)(3y-4)
Check by foiling
Final answer: (3y-4)(y-4)
