Answer:

Explanation:

The given possible roots have the form that we'd get by using the quadratic formula, so let's start with that. Here the coefficients are {2, -6, 3}, and so the discriminant (b^2 - 4ac) is (-6)^2 - 4(2)(3), or 36 - 24 = 12.

Because the discriminant is positive we know immediately that there are two different real roots.

-(-6) ± √12 6 ± √12

x = ------------------ = ---------------- These are equivalent to Answers E and F.
