Answer:
Let's start by rearranging this polynomial.
x^3 - 2x^2 + x - 2
x^3 + x - 2x^2 - 2
Now, factor out the common terms in the first two terms, and the second t wo terms. So we have: x(x^2 + 1) - 2(x^2 +1)
Apply the distributive property, and you have: (x-2)(x^2+1), which can't be factored further.
There's definitely something wrong with the answer choices here, or the problem itself.
Hopefully this helps!
