Answer 1

Answer:

(x+1)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

(x-1)(x-2)

Explanation:

To factor x^2-3x+2 as (x+a)(x+b) we need to find number a and b such that a+b=-3 ab=2

Summary of above: (−1)+(−2)=−3

So the integers we are looking for are

−1 and −2

Therefore, x^2-3x+2=(x-1)(x-2)
