When you factor (x^2-4x-5), you get (x+1)(x-5).

Answer:

(x-5)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x^{2} -4x-5

To find the factors ------> solve the quadratic equation

equate the function to zero

x^{2} -4x-5=0

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^{2} +bx+c=0 is equal to

x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

x^{2} -4x-5=0

so

a=1\\b=-4\\c=-5

substitute

x=\frac{-(-4)(+/-)\sqrt{-4^{2}-4(1)(-5)}} {2(1)}

x=\frac{4(+/-)\sqrt{36}} {2}

x=\frac{4(+/-)6} {2}

x=\frac{4(+)6} {2}=5

x=\frac{4(-)6} {2}=-1

therefore

the factors are

(x-5)(x+1)
