No it isn't.
Explanation:
x/y * y = (y-6) * y
x = y^2 - 6y
A function gives just one y for every x
In this case there will always be 2 y's for every x
Example:
y can be
y = 6
or
y =−6
(0,-6) & (0,6)
The answer for your problem is
Step-by-step explanation:
(a): 5x^2 + 25 = 5 * x^2 + 5 * 5 = 5(x^2 + 5).
(b): 2x^2 - 3x - 2 = 2x^2 - 4x + x - 2
= 2x(x - 2) + 1(x - 2) = (2x + 1)(x - 2).
