$(y+7/2-sqrt37/2)(y+7/2+sqrt37/2)$

We will find the zeros of the trynomial by the quadratic formula
(the zeros of the generic trynomial

$ax^2+bx+c$

are
$x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)$ and the trynomial will be
$a(x-x_1)(x-x_2)$

Then our zeros are:

$y_(1,2)=(-7+-sqrt(7^2-4*3))/2=(-7+-sqrt37)/2=-7/2+-sqrt37/2$

and we can factor the given trynomial as:

$(y+7/2-sqrt37/2)(y+7/2+sqrt37/2)$
