| 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.
