Question

5. Factorise :
(i) x3 - 2 x - x + 2​

Answer 1

THE QUESTION MAY BE x² - 2x - x + 2 Or x³ - 2x - x² + 2

AM SOLVING BOTH THE POSSIBILITES.

1st POSSIBILTY

x² - 2x - x + 2

=x(x-2)-1(x-2)

=(x-2)(x-1)

2nd POSSIBILITY

x³ - 2x - x² + 2

= x(x²-2) - 1(x²-2)

= (x²-2)(x-1)

I GAVE THESE TWO PROBABILITIES BECAUSE THE QUESTION WHICH YOU POSTED DIDN'T HAVE FACTORS IN IT TO BE FACTORISED. ONLY EITHER OF THE TWO PROBABILITIES THAT I GAVE MUST BE CORRECT.

HOPE IT HELPS.....

PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST......
