Answer:

[tex](x - 1)(x + 1)(x - 2)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]x^3 - 2x^2 - x + 2[/tex]

  • Take x² common from first two terms.

[tex]=> x^2(x - 2) -1(x - 2)[/tex]

  • Take (x - 2) common from whole expression.

[tex]=> (x - 2)(x^2 - 1)[/tex]

  • Factorise (x² - 1) by using the identity → (a² - b²) = (a + b)(a - b)

[tex]=> (x - 2)(x + 1)(x - 1)[/tex]
