You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Are you factoring this?\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If so, take out the common factor of 2x first:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"54x%5E4-2x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2827x%5E3-1%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is a difference of cubes, which factors by a formula into a product of a binomail times a trinomial. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%283x-1%29%289x%5E2+%2B+32+%2B+1%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you have trouble with this factoring, then see my website by going to my tutor name \"rapaljer\" anywhere in algebra.com, and look for Math in Living Color. Look then for a topic called Factoring that will be listed under Intermediate Algebra. See if that helps.\r
