Answer:

Quadratic polynomial can be factored using the transformation ax

+bx+c=a(x−x

1

)(x−x

2

), where x

1

and x

2

are the solutions of the quadratic equation ax

2

+bx+c=0.

−x

2

−3x+5=0

All equations of the form ax

2

+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula:

2a

−b±

b

2

−4ac

. The quadratic formula gives two solutions, one when ± is addition and one when it is subtraction.
