Open in App
Solution

The given expression is 3+23y-8y2. (Coefficient of y2=-8, coefficient of y=23 and constant term=3)We will split the coefficient of y into two parts such that their sum is 23 and their product equals the product of the coefficient of y2 and the constant term, i.e., (-8)×3=-24.Now, (-1)+24=23 and (-1)×24=-24Replacing the middle term 23y by -y+24y, we have:3+23y-8y2=-8y2+23y+3=-8y2-y+24y+3=(-8y2-y)+(24y+3)=-y(8y+1)+3(8y+1)=(3-y)(8y+1)
