Because the coefficient is 1
we know the coefficient for theterms in the factor will also be 1 :
Because the constant is a negative and the coefficient for the x term is a negative we know the sign for the constants in the factors will have one positive and one negative:
Now we need to determine the factors which multiply to -4 and also add to -3:
1*(-4)=(-4);1-4=(-3)《 this IS the factor
The factor is a special form of the quadratic:
We can factor this term as:
