We have to find the value of x from the given equation.
- (x - 2)(x² - 2x + 2) = 0 is a quadratic equation, so it will have two values.
Step: Write the equation in simplest form.
Step: Solve the problem by spiltting method.
- (x-2)(x² - x -x + 1) = 0
- (x - 2)(x²-x - x + 1) = 0
- (x - 2) [x(x - 1) -1(x -1)]
- (x - 2)[(x-1)(x-1)]
Step: Solve the problem with using algebraic formula.
{x-1](x-1)
Step : We have used a²-b² to solve the problem.
(x-2)(x² - x -x + 1) = 0
(x - 2)(x²-x - x + 1) = 0
(x - 2) [x(x - 1) -1(x -1)]
(x - 2)[(x-1)(x-1)]
Therefore, the possible factorization is (x - 2)[(x-1)(x-1)].

When you have a negative exponent, you move the base with the negative exponent to the other side of the fraction to make the exponent positive.
For example:
or 
or 
When a base with an exponent is divided by a base with an exponent, you subtract the exponents together. (But you can only combine the exponents when the bases are the same)
For example:
(can't combine because they have different bases of y and x)
When you multiply an exponent directly to a base with an exponent, you multiply the exponents together.
For example:
First multiply the exponents together in the denominator
Now subtract the exponents together
(two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)
