What is the factored form of y = x2 - 4x + 3? y = (x - 4) (x - 1) y = (x - 3) (x - 1) y = (x - 2) (x - 2) y = (x + 1) (x + 3)

Y = (x - 3) (x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = x ^ 2 - 4 x + 3

x ^ 2 - 3 x - x + 3

x (x - 3) - 1 (x - 3)

(x - 3) (x - 1)

y = (x - 3) (x - 1)

y = (x - 3) (x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor consider the factors of the constant term ( + 3) which sum to give the coefficient of the x - term ( - 4)

The factors are - 3 and - 1, hence

y = x² - 4x + 3 = (x - 3) (x - 1)
