Well, (3s-4)(s+2)...you should use foil to see how the two combine. Remember you dont always have to multiply to get the number in front of s

Put it =0 and find the roots
s=((-2+-sqrt(4+96))/6 s= -2 and s = 4/3
so the factoring is (s+2)*(3s-4)

s = -2 is a zero of your polynome
knowing this the rest is a piece of cake
