The obvious factor is (2x-1). If it is difficult to look at, try a substitution. Let p=2x-1.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"p%5E2%28x-3%29%2B%28x%2B1%29p%5E3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"p%5E2%28x-3%2B%28x%2B1%29p%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Put back the full expression substituted:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282x-1%29%5E2%28x-3%2B%28x%2B1%29%282x-1%29%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282x-1%29%5E2%28x-3%2B2x%5E2%2B2x-x-1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282x-1%29%5E2%282x%5E2%2B2x-1%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
