Question

Can some one plz answer this question, factories y^2-8y+12

Answer 1

Answer:

(y - 2)(y - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factorise

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 12) which sum to give the coefficient of the y- term (- 8)

The factors are - 2 and - 6

since - 2 × - 6 = + 12 and - 2 - 6 = - 8, hence

y² - 8y + 12 = (y - 2)(y - 6)
