A financial analyst is simplifying the rational expression p3−2p2+2p−4p2−7p+10\frac{p^3-2p^2+2p-4}{p^2-7p+10} to analyze a debt-to-equity ratio. To factor the trinomial denominator p2−7p+10p^2 - 7p + 10, the analyst must identify two numbers whose product is 10 and whose sum is -7. Which pair of numbers satisfies these specific requirements?
