Answer: B

Explanation:

To find the factors, you know that they are known as the zeros. The zeros are located on the x-axis, where the graph crosses. On the graph, we see that the parabola crosses the x-axis at x=-5 and x=-1. Unfortunately, those are not displayed in our answer choices.

We know that each factor is set equal to 0 to get x=?. With this knowledge, let's make it so that we can get factors.

x=-5 [add both sides by 5]

x+5=0

Now, we see that it is a factor, (x+5).

x=-1 [add both sides by 1]

x+1=0

Now, we see that it is a factor, (x+1).

Our final answer is (x+5) and (x+1) or (x+1) and (x+5).
