(x-4)(x-1)
Alright, there are 3 steps. Each of these steps will determine a "part" of the answer.
First, take the first term, in this case, x.
x
Second, total up your integers. In this case, -4 + -1 = -5.
Third, multiply both integers. -4 * -1 = 4.
This gives x, -5, 4.
Each part must be raised to the power of 2, 1, 0, respectively.
Final answer (x^2) -5x + 4
