x2 - 5x - 6 = x2 - 6x + x - 6 = x(x - 6) + 1(x - 6) = (x - 6)(x + 1)

(x+3)(x-4)
x2-5x-36 = (x-9(x+4) when factored
(x + 3)(x + 4)
x3+x2+x First, factor out the x: x(x2+x+1) Could stop there, but the rest is factor-able using imaginary numbers: x(x+.5(1+i(3).5)(x+.5(1-i(3).5), where i = (-1).5, or sqrt(-1)
x2 + 6x - 2 can not be factored
