Solution 1

Given that (x + 2) and (x - 1) are factors of the quadratic expression, we can write the expression as:

x^2 + (a + 2)x + a + b = (x + 2)(x - 1)

Expanding the right side, we get:

x^2 + x - 2 = x^2 + (a + 2)x + a + b

Comparing the coefficients on both sides, we get two equations:

1 = a + 2 and -2 Knowee AI is a powerful AI-powered study tool designed to help you to solve study problem.
