Pulling out like terms
2.1 Pull out like factors :
x9 - x6 - x3 = x3 • (x6 - x3 - 1)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.2 Factoring x6 - x3 - 1
The first term is, x6 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -x3 its coefficient is -1 .
The last term, "the constant", is -1
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -1 = -1
Step-2 : Find two factors of -1 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -1 .
-1 + 1 = 0
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Final result :
x3 • (x6 - x3 - 1)
