These are already factored as far as they can be. However, if you were looking to multiply them to get their polynomial, it would be 48f^2 -110f + 63.\

You can get this by using the term FOIL

First - Multiply the first numbers in each parenthesis.

6f * 8f = 48f^2

Outer - Multiply the outer numbers in each parenthesis.

6f * -9 = -54f

Inner - Multiply the inner numbers in each parenthesis.

-7*8f = -56f

Last - Multiply the last numbers in each parenthesis.

-7*-9 = 63

Now combine them all and simplify.

48f^2 - 54f - 56f + 63

48f^2 - 110f + 63
