Write the following equations in factored form. Remember to common factor first

Question

(if possible).𝑦 = 𝑥 power 2 − 6𝑥 − 27

Answer 1

We can first try to factor out a common factor from all the terms, which in this case is 1. Then we can proceed to use factoring methods to write the equation in factored form:

𝑦 = 𝑥² - 6𝑥 - 27
𝑦 = (𝑥 - 9)(𝑥 + 3)

Therefore, the factored form of the equation 𝑦 = 𝑥² - 6𝑥 - 27 is (𝑥 - 9)(𝑥 + 3).
