When the quadratic expression
\(y^2 - 7y + 12 = (y-p)(y-q)\)

is factorised, which statement about p and q is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The sum of p and q is 7 and their product is 12

\((y-p)(y-q)=y^2-(p+q)y+pq\)

. Comparing it with \(y^2-7y+12\)

gives p+q=7 and pq=12. A sum of -7 would produce +7y. Exam tip: expand the signs once to verify the middle term.
