First, organize the polynomial in terms of order (2nd, 1st, and 0). Then, note the signs between each term of the polynomial. If the second sign is positive, then the signs between each term of each resulting binomial will be the same. You can determine this sign by looking at the first algebraic sign between terms. If the sign is positive, both signs will be positive. If the sign is negative, both signs will be negative. If the second sign is negative, both signs in the resulting binomials will be opposite. If the first sign is positive, then the sign next to the biggest constant in the binomial will be positive, and vice versa.
