Answer 1

Answer: (B) -2, (E) 1, (F) 2

Step-by-step explanation:

   x³ - x² - 4x + 4

= x²(x - 1) - 4(x - 1)

= (x² - 4) (x - 1)

= (x - 2)(x + 2)(x - 1)

Set each factor equal to zero to find the roots:

  x - 2 = 0      x + 2 = 0       x - 1 = 0

       x = 2             x = -2           x = 1

Answer 2

Answer:

-2, 1, 2
