To factor the quadratic expression  -x² + 14x - 45, we can follow these steps:

Start with the quadratic expression: -x² + 14x - 45

To factor out -1, we can rewrite the expression as: -1(x² - 14x + 45)

Now, let's factor the quadratic expression inside the parentheses: x² - 14x + 45

To factor this quadratic expression, we need to find two numbers that multiply to give 45 and a...
