To factor the quadratic expression  -x² + 7x - 10, we can follow these steps:

Start with the quadratic expression: -x² + 7x - 10

To factor out -1, we can rewrite the expression as: -1(x² - 7x + 10)

Now, let's factor the quadratic expression inside the parentheses: x² - 7x + 10

To factor this quadratic expression, we need to find two numbers that multiply to give 10 and add up to -7 (the coefficient of the...
