SOLUTION: You helped me and I am stuck again. Sorry. I do not understand how I can rearrange factors. I tried the info you gave before but cannot get these two. Factor:
-6x^2 +13x -2
-5x^2

If the lead coefficient is negative, first take -1 out.
)
Multiply the lead coefficient by the constant term: 6 times 2 is 12.
List the possible factor pairs for the product of the lead coefficient and the constant term:
1 and 12
2 and 6
3 and 4
-1 and -12
-2 and -6
-3 and -4
Add each of the pairs to see if you can find a sum that is equal to the 1st degree term, -13 in this case. -1 and -12 works. Split the 1st degree term:
)
Divide the polynomial into the sum of two binomials.
\ -\ (x\ -\ 2)\})
Factor any common factors from each of the binomials:
\ -\ 1(x\ -\ 2)\})
Factor out the binomials:
(x\ -\ 2))
Do the other one the same way.
