Factor y6 + 7y3 - 8 completely.

 

  Strategy: Notice that the variable y6 is the square
of the variable y3.
Thus we will rewrite the polynomial in the form
of a quadratic where the variable is y3
y6 + 7y3 - 8 = (y3)2 + 7(y3)1 - 8 Rewrite the polynomial as a quadratic
with the variable being y3 .
  Show work. Factor this polynomial as a quadratic.
