The polynomial is .

The GCF of is , so factor it out.

In the polynomial , since the first term is not a perfect square, this is not a perfect square terminal.

The general quadratic expression form is .

In the above trinomial, .

Since is negative, the factors m and p have opposite signs.

So either m or p is negative, but not both.

Since is negative, the factor with the greater absolute value is also negative.

To determine , list the factors of , where one factor of each pair is negative and look for the pair of factors with a sum of .

The correct factors are .

Apply the pattern: .

.

Group terms with common factors.

Factors the GCF from each group.

Apply distributive property: .

The factors of polynomial is .
