If you reverse 2x^2-3x+1 to get 1-3x+2x^2, it becomes easier to factor:
F irst terms must multiply to yield 1
O utside and
I nside terms must add to yield -3x
L ast terms must multiply to yield 2x^2
Therefore, the factors must be:
(1-2x)(1-x)
F irst terms must multiply to yield 1
O utside and
I nside terms must add to yield -3x
L ast terms must multiply to yield 2x^2
Therefore, the factors must be:
(1-2x)(1-x)
