How to solve y(y - 1)(y - 2)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$y(y-1)(y-2)$$

Evaluate

$y\left(y-2\right)\left(y-1\right)$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $y$ by $y-1$.

$$\left(y^{2}-y\right)\left(y-2\right)$$

Apply the distributive property by multiplying each term of $y^{2}-y$ by each term of $y-2$.

$$y^{3}-2y^{2}-y^{2}+2y$$

Combine $-2y^{2}$ and $-y^{2}$ to get $-3y^{2}$.

$$y^{3}-3y^{2}+2y$$
