Which model shows the correct factorization of x2 – x – 2? image for option 1 image for option 2 image for option 3 image for option 4

Hint:  Please express exponentiation with the "^" symbol:  x^2 - x - 2.

Note that the final term factors to (-2)(-1), and that -2x and +1x combine to produce the middle term, -x.  Thus, the factors of this polynomial are

(x+1)(x-2).

Please do not refer to "Image for Option 1," etc., unless you are actually sharing the image!

1.3 and 1 1/3 are both closest to 1. hope this ; )
