Answer

$2(5y+6)^2$.

Work Step by Step

The given polynomial is $=50y^2+120y+72$ Factor out $2$. $=2(25y^2+60y+36)$ Write the the polynomial as $a^2+2ab+b^2$. $=2((5y)^2+2(5y)(6)+6^2)$ Use perfect square trinomial pattern $a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2$ We have $a=5y$ and $b=6$. $=2(5y+6)^2$ Hence, the factor of the given polynomial is $2(5y+6)^2$.
