Explanation:

Step1: Find two numbers

We need two numbers that multiply to $-60$ and add up to $4$. Let's list the factor pairs of $-60$:

• $10$ and $-6$: $10\times(-6) = -60$ and $10 + (-6) = 4$.

Step2: Factor the trinomial

Using the numbers we found, we can factor $x^2 + 4x - 60$ as $(x + 10)(x - 6)$.

Answer:

$(x + 10)(x - 6)$
