Answer:

[tex]y=x^2-x-2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The quadratic equation in factored form is equal to

[tex]y=a(x-x_1)(x-x_2)[/tex]

where

a is the leading coefficient

x_1 and x_2 are the roots of the equation

we have

[tex]a=1\\x_1=-1\\x_2=2[/tex]

substitute

[tex]y=(1)(x-(-1))(x-2)[/tex]

[tex]y=(x+1)(x-2)[/tex]

Apply distributive property

[tex]y=x^2-2x+x-2[/tex]

combine like terms

[tex]y=x^2-x-2[/tex]
