You must remember that a polynomial is written like so...
ax^2 + bx + c
In this case...
a = 1
b = 3
c = -10
To factor you must find two numbers who both add up to b (3) AND multiply to c (-10)
-2 + 5 = 3
-2 * 5 = -10
so...
(x - 2)(x + 5)
To find the zero you must set each factor equal to zero and solve for for x like so...
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
x + 5 = 0
x = -5
Hope this helped!
