Ok so factoring quadratics is fairly easy once you get the hang of it
So we have a quadratic [tex]x^2+x-2[/tex]
My first question would be what 2 numbers multiply to -2 and add to +1
the answer is 2 and -1
Second question what 2 values multiply to get [tex]x^2[/tex]
the answer x and x
your factored form would be [tex](x-1)(x+2)[/tex]
This is as far as i can explain there is a whole lot about quadratics to be learned. You have to ask your teacher on more information
