1.  Factor  h%5E2+-+9hs+%2B+9s%5E2.

      Hello, I suspect that there is a typo/mistake in your writing.
      It should be  h%5E2+-+6hs+%2B+9s%5E2.

      If so,  then  h%5E2+-+6hs+%2B+9s%5E2 = %28h-3s%29%5E2.

      Otherwise,  it doesn't make sense.  Please let me know by sending you response in the section  "Comments from student".
      Do not forget to include the number of the problem  (# 999615)  in your comment in order I could identify it.


2.  Factor  -a%5E3+-+2a%5E2+-+a.

      -a%5E3+-+2a%5E2+-+a = %28-a%29%2A%28a%5E2+%2B+2a+%2B1%29 = %28-a%29%2A%28a%2B1%29%5E2.


3.  Factor  8x%5E2+-+10x+-+3.

      8x%5E2+-+10x+-+3 = (2x-3)*(4x+1).
