Answer 1

Answer:

The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .

The middle term is, -6x its coefficient is -6 .

The last term, "the constant", is +9

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 9 = 9

Step-2 : Find two factors of 9 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -6 .

-9 + -1 = -10

-3 + -3 = -6 That's it
