Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

For this question. you need to perform long division of polynomials

the divisor is the given factor, here (x+1)

and the dividend is the polynomial, here (x^2 - x - 2)

when you carry the division out, you should get

x - 2

and thus (x-2) is the other factor

hope this helps [Also, you can verify this by putting the value as x = 2 and the resultant should be 0]
