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

Solution:

Given the polynomial;

$2x^2-3x-2$

The width is;

$x-1$

Using the geometric model;

$\frac{2x^2-3x-2}{x-1}$$\frac{2x^2-3x-2}{x-1}$

So,

$\frac{2x^{2}-3x-2}{x-1}=2x-1-\frac{3}{x-1}$
