You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I assume you mean:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%5E2%2B5%2B6y\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If so, you did write the terms down correctly in descending powers of the variable, like this:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%5E2%2B6y%2B5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "However, the problem also says \"factor\" if I am reading it right... so you need to factor this expression. Do you know how to do that? This is the result:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28%28y%2B1%29%28y%2B5%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "If you multiply out this binomial, you get the original expression back.
