snowcrystal · Answer

Factor completely 
6a^3 - 10a^2 + 3a -5

anonymous · Answer

First:
split the equation in half:(6a^3-10a^2) and (3a-5)

anonymous · Answer

okay the answer is(2a2 + 1) • (3a - 5)
to get this you need to figure out what * 3a=6a^3     which you get 2a^2

anonymous · Answer

2a^2 goes in the first parenthesis as the first number.now you need to figure out 2a^2 * what=-10a^2     which would be -5.... -5 goes in the second parenthesis as the last number

anonymous · Answer

you also need to figure out what *-5=-5

anonymous · Answer

it would be +1 this goes in the second parenthesis as the second number

anonymous · Answer

last you know that you still need a 3a.... plug it into the second parenthesis as the first number.. check your work after plugging in your puzzle pieces.
