Question

The binomial (y-2) is a factor of y2 - 10y + 16. What is the other factor?
(-5)
(y + 5)
(y - 8)
(y + 8)

Answer 1

Answer:

(y-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

the other factor =

(y²-10y+16)/(y-2) =

(y-8) (y-2) /(y-2) =

eliminate (y-2),

we have (y-8)

Answer 2

The other factor of the given expression is y -8

Factors of a quadratic equation

Quadratic equations are equations that has a leading degree of 2. Given the equation below

y^2 - 10y + 16.

Factorize

y^2 - 8y - 2y + 16

y(y-8) - 2(y - 8)

Group

(y-2)(y-8)

Hence the other factor of the given expression is y -8
