How do you find the roots, real and imaginary, of #y= 2x^2 - 3x + 2 # using the quadratic formula?

1 Answer

#x_1=(3+sqrt7 i)/4#

#x_2=(3-sqrt7 i)/4#

Explanation:

Using the Quadratic Formula,

#x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)#

we have to identify correctly our real number coefficients a, b ,c

set y=0

#2x^2-3x+2=0#

let #a=2# and #b=-3# and #c=2#

#x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)#

#x=(--3+-sqrt((-3)^2-4(2)(2)))/(2(2))#

#x_1=(3+sqrt7 i)/4#

#x_2=(3-sqrt7 i)/4#

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
