To factor the quadratic expression (x^2 + 9x + 20), we need to find two numbers that multiply to 20 (the constant term) and add up to 9 (the coefficient of the linear term). The numbers 4 and 5 satisfy these conditions, as (4 \times 5 = 20) and (4 + 5 = 9). Therefore, we can factor the expression as ((x + 4)(x + 5)).
