Pulling out like terms
3.1 Pull out like factors :
2x2 - 4x - 6 = 2 • (x2 - 2x - 3)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring x2 - 2x - 3
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -2x its coefficient is -2 .
The last term, "the constant", is -3
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -3 = -3
Step-2 : Find two factors of -3 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -2 .
-3 + 1 = -2 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -3 and 1
x2 - 3x + 1x - 3
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
1 • (x-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+1) • (x-3)
Which is the desired factorization

Theory - Roots of a product
4.1 A product of several terms equals zero.
When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
We shall now solve each term = 0 separately
In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product
Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
Equations which are never true:
4.2 Solve : 2 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
4.3 Solve : x+1 = 0
Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation :
x = -1
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
4.4 Solve : x-3 = 0
Add 3 to both sides of the equation :
x = 3
Supplement : Solving Quadratic Equation Directly
Solving x2-2x-3 = 0 directly
