Answer: The polynomial
= y² - 5y - 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the polynomial = f(y)
Therefore
y² -5y + 1 - f(y) = 5
f(y) = y² - 5y + 1 - 5
f(y) = y² - 5y - 4
The polynomial = y² - 5y - 4.
Check:
y² - 5y + 1 - ( y² - 5y - 4)
Open the bracket with the minus
y² - 5y + 1 - y² + 5y + 4
y² - y² - 5y + 5y + 1 + 4
= 0 - 0 + 5
= 5.
