Answer:


\large\boxed{\textsf{Unfactorable.}}

Explanation:


\textsf{For this problem, we are asked to factor the given trinomial.}


\mathtt{3x^(2)-3x+1}


\textsf{We should know that it's impossible to factor this expression.}


\textsf{Due to x}^(2) \ \textsf{having the coefficient of 3, it's impossible to factor this trinomial.}


\large\underline{\textsf{If we tried to;}}


\mathtt{[3]x^(2)-3x+1}


\textsf{The 3 can't be broken down to match with the rest of the trinomial.}


\textsf{Hence, it's unfactorable.}
