To factor the quadratic expression  -x² - 5x - 6, we can follow these steps:

Start with the quadratic expression: -x² - 5x - 6

To factor out -1, we can rewrite the expression as: -1(x² + 5x + 6)

Now, let's factor the quadratic expression inside the parentheses: x² + 5x + 6

To factor this quadratic expression, we need to find two numbers that multiply to give 6 and add up to 5 (the coefficient ...
