Question

The binomial (y − 2) is a factor of y2 − 10y + 16. What is the other factor?

(y − 5)
(y + 5)
(y − 8)
(y + 8)

Answer 1

Answer:c) y-8

Explanation:

Answer 2

(y - 8)

Explanation:

If you factor the original expression, y^2 - 10y + 16, you get (y-2)(y-8) so (y-8) is the other factor. You could also test this by multiplying (y-2)(y-8) together and seeing if you get the original expression.
