Question

help!!! Factor : y/ squared - 24y + 144
How to do this?

Answer 1

find two numbers that multiply to be 144, and add to be -24

Answer 2

This is my favorite type of math questions, factoring.

Answer 3

Lagrangeson is right. That's the first step.

Answer 4

so the two numbers are -12 and -12, the sum of -12 and -12 is -24, and the multiplacation of -12 and -12 is +144. So the answer is (x-12)(x-12) , so x=13

Answer 5

If there is a number in front of y^2, then you'd multiply 144 with that number in front of y and figure out the sum/multiplication to get the middle number.

Answer 6

no!

Answer 7

Answer 9

Typo

Answer 10

makes sense!

Answer 11

to get 12, x-12=y, get x by itself, then you get 12 as an answer.
