Question

Factor y^2-13y+12

Answer 1

(y-12)(y-1)

Answer 2

how did you get it with 2 negatives my teacher said u had to have a + and - we haven't learned 2 negatives

Answer 3

thats not how it works. So the way you should think about it is what two numbers add up to -13 and when I multiply them I get positive 12? Then you can just fill in the blanks (y- )(y- ).

Answer 4

thank you so much
