Example 4: To factor 5????2 ???? 6 we must find factors of -30 which add to be -1. As discussed, to multiply to be a negative the factors must have opposite signs. To add to be a negative, the factor with the larger absolute value must have the negative sign. 7) Finish the chart then circle the pair of factors that meets our conditions Factors of -30 That add to be -1 1(-30) = -30 1 + (-30) = -29 2(-15) = -30 3(-10) = -30 5(-6) = -30
