What is x to the 2nd power -3x plus2 times x minus 2?

Answer 1

Hmm - you need to phrase your question a little better. Which of these are you looking for?

x2 - 3x + 2x - 2

= x2 - x - 2

= (x - 2)(x + 1)

x2 - (3x + 2)(x - 2)

= x2 - 3x2 + 6x - 2x + 4

= -2x2 + 4x + 4

= -2(x2 - 2x - 2)

x2 - 3x + 2(x - 2)

= x2 + x - 4
