Solution
The correct option is Ax3+2x2−x−2 x−1[(x2+x−2)(x2−12)÷(x−1)2] We need to follow BODMAS rule. => Brackets (parts of a calculation inside brackets always come first). => Orders (numbers involving powers or square roots). => Division. => Multiplication. => Addition. => Subtraction. =x−1(x2+x−2)(x+1)(x−1)(x−1(x−1) =x3+x2−2x+x2+x−2 =x3+2x2−x−2
