Question 87307:  1. Factor completely.   64x^3-48x^2-4x+3 
   I have came up with 8x^2(8x-6)-4x+3  I don't know what to do with the 4x+3.
 
 
 
2. Factor completely.   49x^3y-112x^2y^2+64xy^3 
   On this question i have tried using -2,-32; -4,-16; -8,8 to factor but they     aren't working.

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! 1. Fctor by grouping the first two terms and the last two terms. 
So, (64x^3-48x^2)-(4x-3) 
Factor out common factors.. 
This gives you 16x^2(4x-3)-(4x-3) 
Factored form is (16x^2-1)(4x-3)
 
2.  Only common factors in second equation are xy.
 
This gives you xy(49x^2-112x^2y+64y^2) 
You can factor this further by grouping in the second term. 
xy(49x^2-56xy-56xy+64y^2) 
   7x(7x-8y)-8y(7x-8y) 
So, answer is xy(7x-8y)(7x-8y)or xy(7x-8y)^2
 
 
Good luck.
