factor s^2-s-2

Solution

factor

s^{2} - s - 2

Solution

(s + 1) (s - 2)

Solution steps

s^{2} - s - 2

Break the expression into groups

= (s^{2} + s) + (- 2 s - 2)

Factor out

s

from

s^{2} + s : s (s + 1)

Factor out

- 2

from

- 2 s - 2 : - 2 (s + 1)

= s (s + 1) - 2 (s + 1)

Factor out common term

s + 1

= (s + 1) (s - 2)
