  • A Y = x2 + x - 2
  • B Y = -x2 - x + 2
  • C Y = x2 - x - 2
  • D Y = -x2 - x + 2
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
The required equation is y = x2 - x - 2
i.e. B where the graph touches the graph touches the x-axis y = 0
x2 - x - 2 = 0 = (x + 1)(x - 2) = 0
Hence roots of the equation are -1 and 2 as shown in the graph
