4y^2 +25y+25
.
Since all signs are positive,,all factor signs will be positive,,,and factors will add.
.
Factors of 1st term,,(4) are,,,4*1,,,or 2*2
.
factors of 3rd term (25) are,,,25*1 or 5*5
.
Reviewing all of the combinations that add to +25, lets use (4*5 + 1*5)
.
(4y + 5) (y+5)
.
.
check using FOIL,,,,4y^2 +20y +5y +25 = 4y^2 +25y+25,,,,ok
.
