<p>Umm... I have a really big test tomorrow (which many people apparently failed) and I need help on a review question. ^^ This one is factoring completely. I think I have it right, but when it comes to questions like this, I'm always so iffy about my answer.</p>
<p>6a^3 - 7A^2b - 2ab^2</p>
<p>My simply answer is... a (6a^2 - 7ab - 2b^2)</p>
<p>The answer seemed to simple, could I have factored more?</p>
<p>hmm...gimme a minute to get some paper and a pen...</p>
<p>No, I think that's all you can get.</p>
<p>Wait are you sure you typed this problem correctly? 7a to the 2b power? Because I don't understand where 7ab would come from.</p>
<p>Edit: Oh wait...I see. You were saying 7 times a to the second power times b, right? <em>stupid</em>
But you can still factor the expression in the parantheses, can't you?</p>
<p>Edit again: Never mind...you can't...jeez, this explains my grade right now...</p>
<p>*****7a^2(b)</p>
<p>after what you did, you can probably factor it out with distributive property or whatever.</p>
