If you are looking for the answer to the question above you have to ask yourself what two numbers multiply to 30 and equal 17 when added up. We halve the perimeter to make this easier. So your answer is 15 and 2 because 15 *2=30. If the sides are 15 and 2 then, 15(2) +2(2)=34. There is your answer.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you are factoring the expression
Given
4y² + 26y + 30 ← factor out 2 from each term
= 2(2y² + 13y + 15) ← factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the y² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term.
product = 2 × 15 = 30 and sum = 13
the factors are 10 and 3
Use these factors to split the y- term
2y² + 10y + 3y + 15 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 2y(y + 5) + 3(y + 5) ← factor out (y + 5) from each term
= (y + 5)(2y + 3)
Thus
4y² + 26y + 30
= 2(y + 5)(2y + 3)
