  • A 1, -2
  • B -1, 2
  • C 2, 3
  • D -1. -2
  • E -2, -3
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
to find the values of x for which the expression is underlined, let x2 + x - 2 = 0
By factorizing, we have (x + 2)(x - 1) = 0
when x + 2 = 0, when x - 1 = 0, x = -2 or x = 1
The two values are -2 and 1
