Frank is trying to factor He has determined that one factor is (y + 9). What is the other factor?

Answer:
Correct choice is D
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic polynomial can be factored as
[tex](y-y_1)(y-y_2),[/tex]
where [tex]y_1,\ y_2[/tex] are roots of the polynomial.
If one of the factors is [tex]y+9,[/tex] then one of the roots is -9.
By the Vieta formulas,
[tex]y_1+y_2=-6,\\ \\y_1\cdot y_2=-27.[/tex]
Then
[tex]-9+y_2=-6,\\ \\-9y_2=-27.[/tex]
From these equations ou can conclude that [tex]y_2=3.[/tex]
Answer:
Final answer is D. (y-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Frank is trying to factor [tex]y^2+6y-27[/tex]. He has determined that one factor is (y+9). Now we need to find the other factor.
So let's factor [tex]y^2+6y-27[/tex]
[tex]y^2+6y-27[/tex]
[tex]=y^2+9y-3y-27[/tex]
[tex]=y(y+9)-3(y+9)[/tex]
[tex]=(y-3)(y+9)[/tex]
Hence the other factor is (y-3).
