Is it possible to factor y= 3x^2-2x-1 ? If so, what are the factors? Algebra Polynomials and Factoring Monomial Factors of Polynomials 1 Answer Mibo Jun 9, 2018 (3x+1)(x-1) Explanation: 3x times x = 3x^2 3x times -1 = -3x 1 times x = x 1 times -1 = -1 3x^2 - 3x + x -1 = 3x^2 - 2x -1 Answer link Related questions What are Monomial Factors of Polynomials?
