Q. What are the solutions of the quadratic equation 2x2−5x+3=0.
Identify the quadratic equation: Identify the quadratic equation.The given equation is 2x2−5x+3=0, which is a standard form of a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0, where a=2, b=−5, and c=3.
Apply the quadratic formula: Apply the quadratic formula to find the roots of the equation.The quadratic formula is x=2a−b±b2−4ac. We will use this formula to find the roots of the equation 2x2−5x+3=0.
Calculate the discriminant: Calculate the discriminant b2−4ac.The discriminant is the part of the quadratic formula under the square root, b2−4ac. For our equation, b=−5, a=2, and c=3.Discriminant = (−5)2−4(2)(3)=25−24=1.
Calculate the roots: Calculate the roots using the quadratic formula.Now that we have the discriminant, we can find the two roots of the equation.Root 1: x=2×2−(−5)+1=45+1=46=1.5Root 2: x=2×2−(−5)−1=45−1=44=1
