For this case we must factor the following expression:

[tex]-x ^ 2 + 2x + 35[/tex]

We take common factor -1, taking into account that [tex]- * - = +:[/tex]

[tex]-1 (x ^ 2-2x-35)[/tex]

We factor the expression within the parenthesis, for this we look for two numbers that, when multiplied, result in -35 and when added, result in -2. These numbers are -7 and +5.

[tex]-7 + 5 = -2\\-7 * 5 = -35[/tex]

Thus, the factored expression is:

[tex]((x-7) (x + 5))[/tex]

Finally we have:

[tex]- (x-7) (x + 5)[/tex]
