In the given polynomial a2+5a−104,
The first term is a2 and its coefficient is 1.
The middle term is 5a and its coefficient is 5.
The last term is a constant term −104.
Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1×−104=−104.
We now find the factor of −104 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 5 and then factorize the polynomial a2+5a−104 as shown below:
a2+5a−104=a2+13a−8a−104=a(a+13)−8(a+13)=(a−8)(a+13)
Hence, a2+5a−104=(a−8)(a+13).
