Answer:
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -9x its coefficient is -9 .
The last term, "the constant", is +16
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 16 = 16
Step-2 : Find two factors of 16 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -9 .
-16 + -1 = -17
-8 + -2 = -10
-4 + -4 = -8
-2 + -8 = -10
-1 + -16 = -17
1 + 16 = 17
2 + 8 = 10
4 + 4 = 8
8 + 2 = 10
16 + 1 = 17
