Solution

The expression you provided is 2x^2 - 11x + 9. To factor this completely, we need to find two numbers that multiply to (2*9)=18 and add up to -11. Those numbers are -2 and -9.

So, we can rewrite the middle term of the expression as -2x - 9x:

2x^2 - 2x - 9x + 9

Now, we can factor by grouping:

2x(x - 1) - 9(x - 1)

Finally, we can factor out the common binomial term (x - 1):

(2x - 9)(x - 1)

So, the expression 2x^2 - 11x + 9 factors completely to (2x - 9)(x - 1).
