Identify Coefficients: Identify the Coefficients:- Coefficients are 1, −7, and −30.
Find Factors: Find the Factors:- Need two numbers that multiply to −30 (the constant term) and add to −7 (the coefficient of the x term).- Factors of −30 that add up to −7 are −10 and 3.
Write Factored Form: Write the Factored Form:- Using the factors from the previous step, the factored form is (x−10)(x+3).
