4x^2 + x - 5 = 4x^2 + 5x - 4x - 5

Therefore, required solution is 5x and -4x.

Answer:

5x and -4x

Step-by-step explanation:

\(4x^2 + x - 5\)

\(4x^2 + 1x - 5\)

To find out factors we need to multiply 4 and -5 that is -20

Now product is -20 and sum is +1

We need to find out two factors whose product is -20 and sum is +1

5 times -4 = -20

5 + (-4) = +1

So +1x can be written as +5x - 4x

\(4x^2 + 1x - 5\) can be written as \(4x^2+5x - 4x- 5\)
