    (x - 2) (x + 1)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    x² - x - 2

    Consider the factors of the constant term ( - 2) which sum to give the coefficient of the x - term ( - 1)

    The factors are - 2 and + 1, since

    - 2 * 1 = - 2 and - 2 + 1 = - 1, thus

    x² - x - 2 = (x - 2) (x + 1)
