Question

A polynomial is factored using algebra tiles. An algebra tile configuration. 0 tiles are in the Factor 1 spot and 0 tiles are in the Factor 2 spot. 8 tiles are in the Product spot in 2 columns with 4 rows: 1 is labeled x squared, 1 is labeled x, the 3 tiles below x squared are labeled negative x, and the 3 tiles below the x tile are labeled negative. What are the factors of the polynomial? (x − 1) and (x 3) (x 1) and (x − 3) (x − 2) and (x 3) (x 2) and (x − 3).
