Which model shows the correct factorization of x2 – x – 2?

The correct factors are

(x-1) and (x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

To factorize the equation

x²– x – 2=0

First we look for numbers that when multiplied will result to the constant term and when added will result to the second term (1x, - 2x)

Step two :

We replace the second term with these factors we have

x²–(x-2x)–2=0

x²–x+2x–2=0

Factoring the expression we have

x(x–1)+2(x–1)=0

Hence the factors will be

(x-1) and (x+2)
