Factor the polynomial x2 + 2x – 3x – 6 by double grouping. group terms with common factors: (x2 + 2x) + (– 3x – 6) factor the gcf from each group: x(x + 2) – 3(x + 2) write the polynomial as a product of binomials

We have been given a polynomial and we are asked to factor our polynomial by double grouping.

First of all we will group terms with common factors. We can see that and 2x have a common factor x. Common factor of -3x and -6 is -3.

Now we will factor out Greatest Common Factor from each group.

After factoring out GCF from each group we got (x+2) as our common binomial.  Now we will write our polynomial as a product of two binomials as:

Therefore, our polynomial as a product of two binomials will be .
