True/False

An operations trainee is using the vertical method to multiply two polynomials, (y3)(y - 3) and (y25y+2)(y^2 - 5y + 2), to model a company's production efficiency. According to the setup rules for this method, the trainee should place the binomial (y3)(y - 3) on top of the trinomial (y25y+2)(y^2 - 5y + 2) to minimize the number of partial products generated.
