Chapter 7 - Polynomial Equations and Factoring - 7.5 - Factoring x 2 + bx + c - Exercises - Page 389: 8

Answer

$(y+5)(y+8)$.

Work Step by Step

The given polynomial is $=y^2+13y+40$ Standard form is $x^2+bx+c$. We have $b=13$ and $c=40$. $b$ and $c$ is positive. Factor pair of $40$, whose sum is $13$: $5,8$ The values of $p$ and $q$ are $5$ and $8$. Hence, the factor of the polynomial is $(y+p)(y+q)=(y+5)(y+8)$. Check:- $=(y+5)(y+8)$ $=y^2+8y+5y+40$ $=y^2+13y+40$ True.
