Question

Can someone please help

Answer 1

(x+5) and (x-7).

Explanation:

The given equation is :

`x^2-2x-35`

We need to write it in factored form.

We know that,

7×5 = 35 and 7-5 = 2

So,

`x^2-2x-35=x^2-7x+5x-35\\\\=x(x-7)+5(x-7)\\\\=(x+5)(x-7)`

Hence, the required factors are (x+5) and (x-7).
