Factorise 3y² + 14y + 8.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (3y + 2)(y + 4)

Correct answer: B, (3y + 4)(y + 2). Multiply the leading coefficient 3 by the constant 8 to get 24. We need two numbers whose product is 24 and whose sum is 14: they are 12 and 2. Split the middle term: 3y² + 14y + 8 = 3y² + 12y + 2y + 8. Grouping gives 3y(y + 4) + 2(y + 4) = (3y + 2)(y + 4), which appears to be option A—so this reveals that the supplied key B is incorrect. In fact, option A expands to 3y² + 14y + 8, while B expands to 3y² + 10y + 8. Option C expands to 3y² + 14y + 16, and D expands to 3y² + 11y + 8. Therefore the unambiguous correct answer is A, not B. Memory cue: always expand the selected factors; the middle coefficient is the quickest check.
