x^2 + 5x - 24 = (x - 3)(x + 8)
(x-3)(x+8)
x(x + 2)(x - 5)
-70
(4x+5)(x-3)
The polynomial IS written in descending order.
x^2 + 5x - 24 = (x - 3)(x + 8)
(x-3)(x+8)
It is already in descending order and it factors to (x+2)(x-5)
(x + 5)(x - 2)
x(x + 2)(x - 5)
(x+8)(x-5)
(x + 1)(x + 2)
(x + 2)(x - 7)
-70
(4x+5)(x-3)
-70
