You can put this solution on YOUR website! use synthetic division:
Problem: x(to the third) -2x(squared) -x +2 divided by x-2
---------------
2 ) 1 -2 -1 2
1 0 -1 0
This shows the polynomial factors
as (x-2)(x^2-1)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! x^3-2x^2-x +2 divided by x-2
2|1 -2 -1 2
.|___2__0_-2_
''1 0 -1 0
Therefore, the solution is x^2+0x-1=
