x^2 + x - 12
Since 'x^2' term has a coefficient of '1' (N0 number), then we look at the constant, which is '12'.
We need two number that multiply to '12' and 'add' to '1'
The factors of '12' are, 1,12 : 6,2 ; 3,4. This last one satisfies the addition.
Hence
Set up brackets
( x 4 )(x 3)
Which signs? We note that the constant is 'minus' So the signs in the brackets are different. We also note that the 'x' term is positive(+) , so the larger number is positive.
Hence (x 4)(x 3) becomes ( x + 4)( x - 3).

How do you rewrite x2 plus 10x plus 25 in an equivalent factored form?
(x + 5)2
What is the factored form of x2-5x plus 6?
(x - 3)(x - 2)
Can the square root of -x2 plus 16 be simplified?
It can be factored. Whether the factored form is simpler or not is a matter of opinion.sqrt( 16 - x2 ) = sqrt [ (4 + x) (4 - x) ]
What is x3-x2 plus 2x factored?
x3 - x2 + 2x = x*(x2 - x + 2) which cannot be factored further.

Can x2 plus 1 be factored twice?
x2 + 1 can't be factored in the real numbers. If complex numbers are acceptable, it can be factored as (x + i)(x - i).
