2x²-12x-80
First factor out 2 from each term to make it easier to handle.
2(x²-6x-40)
What two number that are 6 apart (since the 6 is negative) multiply to make 40?
10 and 4 work.
Since the 6 is negative, put the negative with the higher number, and you're done.
2(x-10)(x+4) ◄
Check it
2 (x² - 10x + 4x - 40)
2 (x² - 6x - 40)
2x² - 12x - 80 ■

6x + 12x + 2x = 80 20x = 80 x = 4
If you mean: 4x squared+12x+9 then it is (2x+3)(2x+3)
(2x - 3)(2x - 3)
2x(x^2+x-6)
2x(x−6)(x+1)
4x2 - 12x + 9 = 4x2 - 6x - 6x + 9 = 2x(2x - 3) - 3(2x - 3) = (2x - 3)(2x - 3) or (2x - 3)2
(2x - 1)(6x + 5)

The answer is (2x^2+3)(4x+1)
(-3, -5)
12x - 2x = 10
