We have to find the value of x from the given equation.
- (x - 2)(x² - 2x + 2) = 0 is a quadratic equation, so it will have two values.
Step: Write the equation in simplest form.
Step: Solve the problem by spiltting method.
- (x-2)(x² - x -x + 1) = 0
- (x - 2)(x²-x - x + 1) = 0
- (x - 2) [x(x - 1) -1(x -1)]
- (x - 2)[(x-1)(x-1)]
Step: Solve the problem with using algebraic formula.
{x-1](x-1)
Step : We have used a²-b² to solve the problem.
(x-2)(x² - x -x + 1) = 0
(x - 2)(x²-x - x + 1) = 0
(x - 2) [x(x - 1) -1(x -1)]
(x - 2)[(x-1)(x-1)]
Therefore, the possible factorization is (x - 2)[(x-1)(x-1)].
