Factor LaTeX:  \displaystyle - 18 x^{3} + 20 x^{2} + 9 x - 10 .

Factoring out the GCF LaTeX:  \displaystyle -1 from each term gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -(18 x^{3} - 20 x^{2} - 9 x + 10) . Grouping the first two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle 2 x^{2} , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle 2 x^{2}(9 x - 10) . Grouping the last two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle -1 , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -1(9 x - 10) . The polynomial now has a common binomial factor of LaTeX:  \displaystyle 9 x - 10 . This gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -1[2 x^{2} \left(9 x - 10\right) -1 \cdot \left(9 x - 10\right)] = -\left(9 x - 10\right) \left(2 x^{2} - 1\right) .
