Answer

$(2y-5)(2y-3)$

Work Step by Step

Rewrite $-16y$ as $-10y-6y$. $4y^2-16y+15=4y^2-10y-6y+15$ Group the first two terms together and group the last two terms together. $=(4y^2-10y)+(-6y+15)$ Factor out the GCF in each group. $=2y(2y-5)+(-3)(2y-5)$ $=2y(2y-5)-3(2y-5)$ Factor out $(2y-5)$. $=(2y-5)(2y-3)$ Hence, the completely factored form of the given expression is $(2y-5)(2y-3)$.
