So you gotta use the AC method. What two numbers multiply to 4 and add to negative 5? It’s -4 and -1. Now you split up the -5 and then factor

I will show you how. 4x^2 -4x -1x +1
Now factor that —> 4x(x-1) -1 (x-1) see how there are two (x-1)?
We simplify it to (x-1)(4x-1) I took the two numbers of the outside and put them together. Now see that you multiply it out you get ur original unfactkred equation
