Help me write this polynomial as the product of two binomials

3(a-1)squared+2(1-a)

danjs · Answer

This?
$$3*(a-1)^2+2*(1-a)$$

daniellelovee · Answer

I think so

danjs · Answer

Expand everything first. ..

daniellelovee · Answer

so distributive property

daniellelovee · Answer

lol you always confuse me with the asker

whoever asked this question is now offline

danjs · Answer

$$3(a^2-2a+1) + 2 - 2a$$
$$3a^2-6a+3+3-2a$$

danjs · Answer

oh. haha

danjs · Answer

Might as well finish the thing...

daniellelovee · Answer

sure just dont give out the answer or someone will report you (that someone won't be me though)

danjs · Answer

mistyped a 3 instead of a 2 above... it evaluates to 

$$3a^2-8a+5$$

danjs · Answer

Factor that into something like 

$$(c \pm b)*(d \pm e)$$

daniellelovee · Answer

great job! lol you got a medal

danjs · Answer

:-O

yayyy

help!!!! · Answer

$$3\left(a-1\right)^2+2\left(1-a\right)$$

daniellelovee · Answer

haha apparently I'm very bored :)

help!!!! · Answer

Sorry guys computer lagged out. That is the equation

danjs · Answer

k, read above, i had the right one. All you have to do now after expanding that and simplifying it to ...
$$3a^2-8a+5$$

is factor it

help!!!! · Answer

so im trying to get this polymonial to two binomials

help!!!! · Answer

isnt there another way to solve this besides distributing? @DanJS
