Identify Coefficients: Step Title: Identify the CoefficientsConcise Step Description: Identify the coefficients of the quadratic equation, which are the numbers in front of the variables. In this case, the coefficients are 1, 4, and −5.Step Calculation: Coefficients are 1, 4, −5Step Output: Coefficients: 1, 4, −5
Find Factors: Step Title: Find the FactorsConcise Step Description: Find two numbers that multiply to −5 (the last term) and add to 4 (the coefficient of the middle term).Step Calculation: Factors of −5 that add up to 4 are 5 and −1.Step Output: Factors: 5, −1
Write Factored Form: Step Title: Write the Factored FormConcise Step Description: Write the factored form of the quadratic equation using the factors found in the previous step.Step Calculation: The factored form is (z+5)(z−1).Step Output: Factored Form: (z+5)(z−1)
