  • Question
  • Find the roots of the equation 2x 2 - 9x - 18 = 0.


  • Options
  • A. 3/2 and 6
  • B. -3/2 and - 6
  • C. -3/2 and 6
  • D. 3/2 and -6

  • Correct Answer
  • -3/2 and 6 

    Explanation

    Given equation is 2x2 - 9x - 18 = 0
    [by factorisation method]
    ? 2x2 - 12x + 3x - 18 = 0
    ? 2x(x - 6) + 3(x - 6) = 0
    ? (2x + 3) (x - 6) = 0
    ? x = -3/2, 6
