Question

Factor -1(x^(2)-3x-4) and pls show steps

Answer 1

Answer:(-x-1)(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

$-1(x^{2} -3x-4)$

factor the equation (multiples of 4 are 1 and 4 and 2 and 2) 4-1=1 so the factor you want to use are 1 and 4

-1(x +1)(x-4) --  -4+1=3

distribute the -1 into the first factor

(-x-1)(x-4)

Answer 2

Answer:

$-x^{2}+3x+4$

Step by step explanation:

1)  $-1(x^{2}-3x-4)$

Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same.

2) $-(x^{2}-3x-4)$

When there is a ' - ' in front of an expression in parenthesis, change the sign of each term in the expression.

3) $-x^{2}+3x+4$
