The factors of the given equation is (x-5) and (x+1).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

y = -[tex]x^{2} +4x+5[/tex]

To find the factors of the given equation.

We will apply middle term factor method.

To find the factor we have to take y = 0

So,

-[tex]x^{2} +4x+5[/tex] = 0

or, [tex]-x^{2} +(5-1)x+5 = 0[/tex]

or, [tex]-x^{2} +5x-x+5 = 0[/tex]

or, -x(x-5)-1(x-5) = 0

or, (x-5)(-x-1) = 0

or, (x-5)(x+1) = 0

Hence,

The factors of the given equation is (x-5) and (x+1).
