Factor completely. y^2+6y+8 enter your answer in the box.

The factored form is (y+4)(y+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to factor the expression

We can factor it by AC method.

Comparing this equation with

a = 1, b = 6, c = 8

Multiply a and c. ac = 8

Factor pairs of 8 are

1, 8

2, 4

Now among these factors pairs we choose the pair which on addition/subtraction given b and on multiplication it gives c.

Hence, require pair is 2 and 4

Thus, we can write the expression as

Take GCF

Factor out the common term

Hence, the factored form is (y+4)(y+2)

just needed some points but try socratic

answer is x<
