Factor LaTeX:  \displaystyle - 2 x^{3} + 2 x^{2} + 9 x - 9 .

Factoring out the GCF LaTeX:  \displaystyle -1 from each term gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -(2 x^{3} - 2 x^{2} - 9 x + 9) . Grouping the first two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle 2 x^{2} , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle 2 x^{2}(x - 1) . Grouping the last two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle -9 , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -9(x - 1) . The polynomial now has a common binomial factor of LaTeX:  \displaystyle x - 1 . This gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -1[2 x^{2} \left(x - 1\right) -9 \cdot \left(x - 1\right)] = -\left(x - 1\right) \left(2 x^{2} - 9\right) .
