Question

Show the polynomial -15y + 12y²-9y as the product of polynomials. Write each polynomial of the product in standard form.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Here are the steps to write the polynomial -15y + 12y² - 9y as a product of polynomials in standard form:

Factor out the coefficient of the linear term: -15y = -15 * y

Factor out the coefficient of the quadratic term: 12y² = 12 * y^2

Add the two factored polynomials: -15 * y + 12 * y^2 - 9 * y

Simplify the expression: (-15 * y + 9 * y) + 12 * y^2 = -6 * y + 12 * y^2

And there you have it, the polynomial -15y + 12y² - 9y can be written as a product of two polynomials in standard form, -6 * y + 12 * y^2.
