Answer

$(y^5+7)(5y^5-6)$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=5y^{10}+29y^5-42$ We can write $=5(y^5)^2+29x^5-42$ Substitute $y^5=u$. $=5(u)^2+29u-42$ Simplify. $=5u^2+29u-42$ Rewrite $29u$ as $35u-6u$. $=5u^2+35u-6u-42$ Factor. $=5u(u+7)-6(u+7)$ $=(u+7)(5u-6)$. Substitute back $u=y^5$. $=(y^5+7)(5y^5-6)$.
