    when the coefficient of x^2 is negative

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Suppose if we have a trinomial x^2 - 5x+6

    We can factor this trinomial by finding two factors whole product is + 6 and add upto - 5

    Suppose we have a trinomial - x^2 + 5x-6

    Here factoring is not possible directly

    so we need to factor out negative from x^2

    To factor any trinomial x^2 should be positive

    So we factor out - 1 when the coefficient of x^2 is negative
