Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To factor the trinomial y^2 + 12y + 32, we need to find two numbers that multiply to 32 and add up to 12. The numbers that fit these criteria are 4 and 8.

Therefore, we can rewrite the trinomial as:

y^2 + 4y + 8y + 32

Now, we can factor by grouping:

y(y + 4) + 8(y + 4)

Now we can factor out the common factor of (y + 4):

(y + 4)(y + 8)

So, the factored form of the trinomial y^2 + 12y + 32 is (y + 4)(y + 8).
