Remember the process of multiplying two binomials using FOIL? Example:
(x\ +\ 1)\ =\ x^2\ +\ x\ -\ 3x\ -\ 3\ =\ x^2\ -\ 2x\ -\ 3)
Now they want you to do that process backwards.
Hint:  + (-6)\ =\ -12)
and *(-6)\ =\ 36)
Once you have your two factors, use the Zero Product Rule:
\ \small{\vee }\ \LARGE (b\ =\ 0))
