Factor:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-70a%5E4%2B68a%5E3-16a%5E2\"$ Rewrite this as:
\n" ); document.write( "

Now factor the common factor of $\"highlight%28-2a%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28-2a%5E2%29%2835a%5E2-34a%2B8%29\"$ Now factor the trinomial.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight_green%28%28-2a%5E2%29%287a-4%29%285a-2%29%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
