Answer :

Do you want to factor this?

If so then think of two numbers that

  • Multiply to -10 (last term)
  • Add to 3 (middle coefficient)

Through trial-and-error, you should arrive at the values 5 and -2

  • 5 times -2 = -10
  • 5 plus -2 = 3

Those two values will help lead to the factorization (x+5)(x-2)
