Question 329559: I need help with this problem. The way I did it was leaving the point in it. I don't know if I should have done it with timing by 10 first. I need to find the product of the higher power of the binomial. I came up with 11.90a² - 15.87a + 5.29 but I can not get it to factor back when I check it.
(3.45a - 2.3)²

------------------
(3.45a - 2.3)²

= 11.9a^2 - 2(3.45a)*(2.3) + 5.29

You have the correct answer.
