Looking at we can see that the first term is and the last term is where the coefficients are 1 and 9 respectively.

Now multiply the first coefficient 1 and the last coefficient 9 to get 9. Now what two numbers multiply to 9 and add to the middle coefficient 6? Let's list all of the factors of 9:

Factors of 9:
1,3

-1,-3 ...List the negative factors as well. This will allow us to find all possible combinations

These factors pair up and multiply to 9
1*9
3*3
(-1)*(-9)
(-3)*(-3)

note: remember two negative numbers multiplied together make a positive number

Now which of these pairs add to 6? Lets make a table of all of the pairs of factors we multiplied and see which two numbers add to 6

First Number	Second Number	Sum
1	9	1+9=10
3	3	3+3=6
-1	-9	-1+(-9)=-10
-3	-3	-3+(-3)=-6

From this list we can see that 3 and 3 add up to 6 and multiply to 9

Now looking at the expression , replace with (notice adds up to . So it is equivalent to )

Now let's factor by grouping:

Group like terms

Factor out the GCF of out of the first group. Factor out the GCF of out of the second group

Since we have a common term of , we can combine like terms

So factors to

So this also means that factors to (since is equivalent to )

note: is equivalent to since the term occurs twice. So also factors to

Answer:

So factors to

#2

Looking at we can see that the first term is and the last term is where the coefficients are 9 and 1 respectively.

Now multiply the first coefficient 9 and the last coefficient 1 to get 9. Now what two numbers multiply to 9 and add to the middle coefficient -6? Let's list all of the factors of 9:

Factors of 9:
1,3

-1,-3 ...List the negative factors as well. This will allow us to find all possible combinations

These factors pair up and multiply to 9
1*9
3*3
(-1)*(-9)
(-3)*(-3)

note: remember two negative numbers multiplied together make a positive number

Now which of these pairs add to -6? Lets make a table of all of the pairs of factors we multiplied and see which two numbers add to -6

First Number	Second Number	Sum
1	9	1+9=10
3	3	3+3=6
-1	-9	-1+(-9)=-10
-3	-3	-3+(-3)=-6

From this list we can see that -3 and -3 add up to -6 and multiply to 9

Now looking at the expression , replace with (notice adds up to . So it is equivalent to )
