Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The equation x² - 3x - 2 cannot be factorized, I think the correct question is:

factorize x² - 3x + 2​

Solution:

A quadratic equation is a polynomial equation of the second degree (that is there is at least one term with a degree of 2).

The standard form of a quadratic equation is given by the equation:

ax² + bx + c = 0

Where a, b, and c being constants and x is the unknown variable.

Given:

x² - 3x + 2

= x² - 2x - x + 2

= x(x - 2) -1(x - 2)

= (x - 1)(x - 2)
