Chapter 8: Q8. (page 520)

Factor the polynomial $y^{2} + 9 y + 20$ .
$F (y + 2) (y + 10) G (y + 4) (y + 5) H (y + 3) (y + 8) J (y + 5) (y + 2)$

Short Answer

Expert verified

Factors of $y^{2} + 9 y + 20$ are $(y + 4) (y + 5)$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Compare.

Compare a given trinomial to $a x^{2} + b x + c$ and write the values of a,b and c.

$a = 1 b = 9 c = 20$

Step 2. List the factors.

List the factors of 20. Look for the pair of factors with a sum of 9.

Factors of	Sum of factors
1,20	21
2,10	12
4,5	9

Therefore, correct factors are 4 and 5.

Step 3. Apply factoring pattern of ax2+bx+c.

There are two numbers having product of 20 and sum of 9. The numbers are 4 and 5.

$y^{2} + 9 y + 20 = (y + m) (y + p) = (y + 4) (y + 5)$

Therefore, the factors of $y^{2} + 9 y + 20$ are $(y + 4) (y + 5)$ .

The obtained solution completely matches with option G. Therefore, option G is the required answer.
