The two factors of a quadratic equation can be multiplied to form the original equation. Let the missing term be a:
y² + 15y + 56 = (y + 7)(y + a)
y² + 15y + 56 = y² + (7 + a)y + 7a
We can now compare the coefficient of the like terms, either the one with y or the one without y, and find the value of a.
15 = 7 + a; a = 8
OR
56 = 7a; a = 8
Second factor is (y + 8)

Answer:
b. (x-3)(x+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
y=x^2-x-6
y=x^2-3x+2x-6
=x(x-3)+2(x-3)
=(x-3)(x+2)
