Which among the following is not a factor of 4y(y+3)?
4
4y(y+3) can be written as,
4×y×(y+3)=4y×(y+3)=4(y+3)×y=4×y(y+3)
4y×(y+3);y(y+3) is a factor of 4y(y+3)
4(y+3)×y=4y(y+3);4(y+3) is a factor of 4y(y+3)
4y is also a factor of 4y(y+3).
4y(y+3) is 4y2 + 12y.
So, 4y2 is a term in the expansion of 4y(y+3) but not a factor.
