Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The polynomial
Formula used:
To factor a polynomial split the middle term in such a way that sum of two numbers is the middle term and product of two numbers is same is product of first and last term.
Calculation:
Consider the polynomial
Take out the common factor,
Recall that to factor a polynomial split the middle term in such a way that sum of two numbers is the middle term and product of two numbers is same is product of first and last term.
For the above polynomial
Apply it, first the group the similar terms,
Thus, the polynomial is factored as
