Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 2x^2 -3x -9

 2 * -9 =  -18. We need 2 numbers whose product is -18 and whose sum     is -3. They are -6 and + 3. So:

= 2x^2 - 6x + 3x - 9

= 2x(x - 3) + 3(x - 3)

= (2x + 3)(x - 3)

2) 3x^2 + 5x +2​

Now 3 * 2 = 6   We need to numbers whose product is + 6 and whose  sum is +5.  Theres are + 3 and + 2>

= 3x^2 + 3x + 2x + 2

= 3x(x + 1) + 2(x + 1)

= (3x + 2)(x + 1)

=
