The answer for this problem is x=1/3 or x=-2
Start off with the same equation.
3x^2+5x−2=0
Factor left side of equation.
(3x−1)(x+2)=0
Set factors equal to 0.
3x−1=0 or x+2=0
The answer is
x=1/3 or x=-2
Answer:
The solution set is {-2, 1/3}.
Explanation:
3x^2 + 5x - 2 = 0
This will factor:
3x^2 + 6x - x - 2 = 0
3x(x + 2) - 1(x + 2) = 0
(3x - 1)(x + 2) = 0
3x - 1 =0 , x + 2 = 0, so:
x = -2, 1/3.
