Question

What is the next step in using the geometric model to factor the given polymineal?Answer choice:A) drag a negative one tile into the right box.B) drag a zero pair into the left boxC) drag a zero pair into the right boxD) drag a box around both -1 tiles and drag them into the right box.Sorry I know it’s too much but I couldn’t fit the whole question and answers in the picture

Answer 1

Given the polynomial;

`2x^2-3x-2`

The width is;

`x-1`

Using the geometric model;

`(2x^2-3x-2)/(x-1)`
`(2x^2-3x-2)/(x-1)`

So,

`(2x^(2)-3x-2)/(x-1)=2x-1-(3)/(x-1)`
