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.
