<reasoning>

Identify the general form of a quadratic equation

Using the Standard Form of Quadratic knowledge point
\[
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
\]

Identify the coefficient of \(x^2\)

Using the Quadratic Coefficients knowledge point
\[
\text{In } ax^2 + bx + c = 0, \text{ the coefficient of } x^2 \text{ is } a.
\]

Solve the quadratic equation

Using the Factoring Quadratic Trinomials knowledge point
\[

$$\begin{aligned} &x^2 + 2x - 8 = 0 \\ &(x + 4)(x - 2) = 0 \\ &x = 2 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -4 \end{aligned}$$

\]

Match the solutions to the prompts

Using the Quadratic Equations knowledge point
\[

$$\begin{aligned} &\text{Positive solution: } 2 \\ &\text{Negative solution: } -4 \end{aligned}$$

\]
