Cost-Efficiency Model Simplification

A supply chain analyst is reviewing a cost-efficiency model represented by the polynomial 10y255y+7010y^2 - 55y + 70. To prepare the model for a presentation, the analyst must follow the standard factoring procedure. Identify the numerical value of the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) that should be extracted first, state the trinomial that remains inside the parentheses after this GCF is removed, and recall the specific reason mentioned in the procedure for why extracting the GCF first is recommended.
