x² - x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the curve cuts the x-axis at x = -1 and 2. The factors will be x+1 and x-2

Taking the product of the factors

f(x) = (x+1)(x-2)

f(x) = x² - 2x + x - 2

f(x) = x² - x - 2

Hence the required function is x² - x - 2

or

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:

  ⇒

then, the solutions are: or

nothing extraneous has been found!

the answer is 5/14.

hope this .
