        Try factoring 16n^2+24n+9  on the TI-89.  It gives you the answer
16(n+.75)^2  What is that???   On my HP48GX using the Alg48 4.0 LIB, using the
factor comand I get the correct answer (4n+3)^2....   Is there a way to get my
TI-89 to give me an answer like this??? Help!  Please respond via e-mail.
