Final answer:

The question appears to contain a typo in the polynomial expression. Assuming the correct expression is (x² + 70x - 160) and one factor is (x - 2), we'd need to perform polynomial division or factoring to find the other factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student seems to be asking about factoring a polynomial, but the provided polynomial (5 2 + 70 - 160) appears to contain a typo or error. Since one of the factors given is (x - 2), we could infer that the student is looking for the other factor of a polynomial where (x - 2) is a factor.

Assuming the polynomial is (x² + 70x - 160) and we know (x - 2) is a factor, we can proceed by polynomial division or factoring by grouping to find the other factor.

To solve this correctly, clarification from the student regarding the correct form of the polynomial is required. Without the correct polynomial, it is not possible to provide the other factor.
