Why is my TI-89 Titanium not factoring equations correctly?

Hi, when try factor(2x^2+17xy+y^2) the result is the same equation, the same result with quadratic polynomials doesn't give a facotr answer. Thanks

Did you press the diamond key before you pressed the Enter key (to get an approximate result)?
