Factor LaTeX:  \displaystyle - 18 x^{3} + 54 x^{2} + 3 x - 9 .

Factoring out the GCF LaTeX:  \displaystyle -3 from each term gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -3(6 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} - x + 3) . Grouping the first two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle 6 x^{2} , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle 6 x^{2}(x - 3) . Grouping the last two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle -1 , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -1(x - 3) . The polynomial now has a common binomial factor of LaTeX:  \displaystyle x - 3 . This gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -3[6 x^{2} \left(x - 3\right) -1 \cdot \left(x - 3\right)] = -3\left(x - 3\right) \left(6 x^{2} - 1\right) .
