Question 117677: factor the following polynomials as completely as possible
(((x^2-5/6x+1/6)))

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x^2-5/6x+1/6
x = [(5/6) +- sqrt((25/36)-4*(1/6)]/2
x = [(5/6) +- sqrt(25/36) -(24/36)]/2
x = [(5/6) +- (1/6)]/2
x = 1/2 or x=1/3
-------------------
Factors:
(x-(1/2))(x-(1/3))
