Question

how to convert y=-2x^2+3x+5 to the form
y=a(x-p)(x-q)? PLEASE

Answer 1

factor out a negative

---> -(2x^2 -3x -5)

multiply first and last coefficients .... 2*-5 = -10
find 2 numbers that add to "-3" and multiply to "-10"
---> -5 * 2 = -10
---> -5 + 2 = -3

split up middle term into the 2 numbers found above
-(2x^2 +2x -5x -5)

use factor by grouping
---> -[2x(x+1) -5(x+1)]
---> -(x+1)(2x-5)

Now it is completely factored
-(x+1)(2x-5)
