Answer:

(x-3)(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

X^2-8x+15

Break the expression into groups

(x^2-3x)+(-5x+15)

Factor out x from x^2-3x

Factor out -5 from -5x+15: -5(x-3)

=x(x-3)-5(x-3)

Factor out common term x-3

=(x-3)(x-5)

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$y^2-11y+n\\=(y-(11/2))^2+n-(11/2)^2$

So in order the trinomial a perfect square we need

$n-(11/2)^2 =0\\n= (11/2)^2\\n=\frac{121}{4}$

When n is equal to this number that we have

$y^2-11y+n = (y- (11/2))^2$
