Full solution

Q.

y=x^2+7x-5

Find Numbers: First, we need to find two numbers that multiply to $-5$ (the constant term) and add up to $7$ (the coefficient of the $x$ term).
List Factors: Let's list the factors of $-5$ : $(-1, 5)$ and $(1, -5)$ .
Identify Pair: Now, we need to find which pair of factors adds up to $7$ . The pair $(5, 2)$ works because $5 + 2 = 7$ .
