Concept - If (y−3) is a factor of y3+2y2-9y-18  Then the other two factors are y+2  and y+3.
When only one factor is given, polynomial division can be used to identify the remaining factors. The additional two elements can be discovered by first converting the third degree polynomial into a second degree polynomial.
Given, y-3 is the factor of  y3+2y2-9y-18 _____(1)
Thus y-3=0
=y=3
The value of y in equation 1 is substituted
= 33+233-93-18
=  27+18-27-18
= 0
By using polynomial division, to decrease the third degree polynomial to a second degree polynomial. The formula for the polynomial division is:
Question ImageTherefore the result of division is y2+5y+6
Hence, we can write the polynomial as
y3+2y2-9y-18=(y-3)( y2+5y+6)
Solving the equation
y2+5y+6
y2+5y+6=y2+2y+3y+6
= yy+2+3y+2
= y+2y+3
Hence, the correct answer is y+2y+3.
