@jim_thompson5910 could you help me with one last problem?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

factor y^2 - y - 6 what do you get

OpenStudy (erinweeks):

y-6?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

find two numbers that multiply to -6 and add to -1

OpenStudy (erinweeks):

-3 & -2?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

close

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

but no

OpenStudy (erinweeks):

-3 & 2?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

better

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so it factors to (y-3)(y+2)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what does y^2 + 1y factor to

OpenStudy (erinweeks):

would it be 2y^2?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

y^2 + 1y = y(y + 1)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so |dw:1362372610118:dw| turns into |dw:1362372648474:dw|
