Answer:

x=1,2

Explanation:

a quadratic can be written in the form

ax^2 + bx +c = 0

x²-3x+2=0

a =1 b = -3 c =2

The quadratic equation is

x = -b ± sqrt( b^2 -4ac)

--------------------

2a

= 3 ± sqrt( (-3)^2 -4(1)(2))

--------------------

2(1)

3 ± sqrt( 1)

--------------------

2

(3+1)/2 and (3-1)/2

4/2 and 2/2

2 and 1
