Answer:

4x^2+19x-5=(x+5)(4x -1)

Explanation:

The given expression is 4x^2 + 19x - 5

The leading coefficient is 4 and last term is -5

Multiply them, we get -20

Now find the factors of -20 such that when you add the factors we have to get 19.

-1*20 = -20

20+ (-1) = 19

The right factors are -5 and 9.

4x^2 + 19x - 5 =4x^2 + 20x -1x - 5

= 4x(x + 5) -1(x + 5)

= (x + 5)(4x -1)

The missing factor is (4x -1)

Thank you.
