What are the two solutions to the quadratic equations 2 x2 + 3x - 2 = 0?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Factor the left hand of the given equation

2 x2 + 3x - 2 = 0

Factor the left hand of the given equation

(2x - 1)(x + 2) = 0

Solve

2x - 1 = 0 , x = 1/2

x + 2 = 0 , x = - 2

Therefore the Solution set is 

{-2 , 1/2}


-2,1/12
