we're asked to factor this train A meal here. The first term is that skirt. So that means are factors must both start with us. The last term is negative. 35 t squared. So numbers must be something. Multiply tea and another number multiplied by t. And those two numbers here must multiply together to be negative 35 and add together to be positive too. So if we list are factors of negative 35 impairs, we would have negative one comma Positive. 35 native five Positive seven Negative seven Positive five The negative 35 Positive one.
