Factor completely: −3x2 + 6x − 9
Answer:
\(-3(x^2-2x+3)\)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is
\(-3x^2+6x-9\)
The GCF of the expression is -3.
\(-3(x^2-2x+3)\)
Now, let us see if we can further factor the expression \((x^2-2x+3)\) or not
the middle term is -2x
And we can't write the factor of 3 which gives -2 on addition/subtraction and 3 on multiplication
Hence, it is a prime expression.
Therefore, the factored form is
\(-3(x^2-2x+3)\)
