Question 88192: Can you please help me with this problem? write the trinomial in descending powers of the vaiable and factor y2+5+6y would the answer be y2+6y+5? I know its a stupid one but i couldnt remember. thank you Answer by tutor_paul(519) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I assume you mean:
If so, you did write the terms down correctly in descending powers of the variable, like this:
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:
If you multiply out this binomial, you get the original expression back.
Good Luck,
