Factoring polynomials. Someone please help me before I break something.
4x^2 +81 - 36x
4y^2 + 16y + 16
Can someone explain in detail how this is worked out? No matter how much I look at this, I can't figure it out. And this is after spending all day + tutoring trying to figure out how the pineapple factoring works. I barely understand it at all, made worse by the fact that each new problem has something in it that makes it need to be done differently, or so it seems.
