Full solution

Q. Factor.\newline2y3y2+16y82y^3 - y^2 + 16y - 8\newline______\newline
  1. Step 11: Find common factors: Look for common factors in each pair of terms.\newlineWe will first look at the terms 2y32y^3 and y2-y^2 to see if there is a common factor. We can factor out y2y^2 from both terms.\newlineCalculation: 2y3y2=y2(2y1)2y^3 - y^2 = y^2(2y - 1)
  2. Step 22: Factor out common factors: Look for common factors in the remaining pair of terms.\newlineNow we will look at the terms 16y16y and 8-8 to see if there is a common factor. We can factor out 88 from both terms.\newlineCalculation: 16y8=8(2y1)16y - 8 = 8(2y - 1)
  3. Step 33: Combine factored pairs: Combine the factored pairs by factoring out the common binomial factor.\newlineWe notice that both factored pairs from Step 11 and Step 22 have a common binomial factor (2y1)(2y - 1). We can factor this out to combine the two pairs.\newlineCalculation: (y2+8)(2y1)(y^2 + 8)(2y - 1)
