Question

25. Which is the solution set of the equation

2x² + 3x - 2 = 0?
(1) (-1/2,2}
(2) {1/2,-2}
(3) {1/2,2}
(4) {-1/2,-2}

Answer 1

Explanation:

2x² + 3x - 2 = 0

2x² -x +4x - 2 = 0

(2x² -x) +(4x - 2) = 0

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

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

(x +2) =0

x = -2

OR

(2x-1) =0

x = 1/2

ans: (2) (1/2, -2)

Answer 2

(2) {1/2,-2}

Explanation:

2x² + 3x - 2 = 0

Delta = b² - 4ac

= 3² - 4 (2)(-2)

= 9 + 16

Delta = 25

`√(25) = 5`

X= -3-5÷4 = -2

X'= -3+5÷4 = 2/4 = 1/2

S = { 1/2 ; -2 }
