Factor LaTeX:  \displaystyle - 10 x^{3} - 25 x^{2} - 2 x - 5 .

Factoring out the GCF LaTeX:  \displaystyle -1 from each term gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -(10 x^{3} + 25 x^{2} + 2 x + 5) . Grouping the first two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle 5 x^{2} , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle 5 x^{2}(2 x + 5) . Grouping the last two terms and factoring out their GCF, LaTeX:  \displaystyle 1 , gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle 1(2 x + 5) . The polynomial now has a common binomial factor of LaTeX:  \displaystyle 2 x + 5 . This gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle -1[5 x^{2} \left(2 x + 5\right) +1 \cdot \left(2 x + 5\right)] = -\left(2 x + 5\right) \left(5 x^{2} + 1\right) .
