2y2 + 9y - 2 this will not factor using integers what is what most algebra teachers will tell you is 'prime'
but ... make an equation ... 2y2 + 9y - 2 = 0
use the quadratic formula to solve
y = [-9 (+/-) sq rt (81 -4x2(-2))] / (2x2)
y = [-9 (+/-) sq rt (97)] / (4) now separate these
y = [-9 + sq rt (97)] / (4)
y = [-9 - sq rt (97)] / (4) rewrite as equal to zero
(y - [-9 + sq rt (97)] / (4)) =0
(y - [-9 - sq rt (97)] / (4)) = 0 apply zero product property in reverse
(y - [-9 + sq rt (97)] / (4))(y - [-9 - sq rt (97)] / (4)) = 0
these, as weird as they may look, are the factors.

Factor 25x squared minus 4y squared?
(5x - 2y)(5x + 2y)
How do you factor 3x squared plus 25xy-18 squared?
If that's -18y2, the answer is (3x - 2y)(x + 9y)
How do you solve x squared minus 2x minus 4y squared minus 4y?
The answer to x2 - 2x - 4y2 - 4y =(x - 2y)(x - 2y - 2)
How do you factor 12y to the third power minus 30y squared plus 12y?
12y3 - 30y2 + 12yFactor out a y:y(12y2 - 30y + 12)Factor out a 6:6y(2y2 -5y + 2)Factor 2y2 - 5y + 26y(2y - 1)(y - 2)
How do you factorise 6y squared minus 9xy?
It is: 3y(2y-3x) when factored
