Question 313250: tell whether the polynomial 6y%5E2%28y%5E2%2B6y%2B9%29is factored compleatly

y%5E2%2B6y%2B9 can be factored.
____ * _____ = 9
____ + _____ = 6
Find two numbers that, when multiplied together = 9, then,
using those same two numbers, they must add together to equal 6.
3*3=9
3+3=6
so, y%5E2%2B6y%2B9=%28y%2B3%29%2A%28y%2B3%29
the complete factorization would be 6y%5E2%28y%2B3%29%28y%2B3%29
