Factor the Expression: Breaking Down 4y² + 2y Step by Step

To factor the expression $4y^2 + 2y$, we identify the common factor in both terms:

The term $4y^2$ can be written as$2y \cdot 2y$.

The term $2y$ can be written as $2 \cdot y$.

The common factor is $2y$.

Factorizing gives $2y \cdot (2y + 1)$.
