Solve the following quadratic equation using the quadratic formula and then choose the correct solution set. 6x2 - 7x + 2 = 0

Verified Answer :

6x^2 - 7x + 2 = 0
(3x-2)(2x-1) = 0

3x-2 = 0
x = 2/3

2x-1=0
x=1/2

answer: x=1/2 and x =2/3

Answer:

Solutions of the quadratic equation are \(\dfrac{2}{3},\dfrac{1}{2}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic equation is,

\(6x^2 - 7x + 2 = 0\)

The quadratic formula is,

\(x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\)

Here,

\(a = 6,b=-7,c=2\)

Putting the values,

\(x=\dfrac{-(-7)\pm \sqrt{(-7)^2-4\cdot 6\cdot 2}}{2\cdot 6}\)

\(=\dfrac{7\pm \sqrt{49-48}}{12}\)

\(=\dfrac{7\pm \sqrt{1}}{12}\)

\(=\dfrac{7\pm 1}{12}\)

\(=\dfrac{7+ 1}{12},\dfrac{7-1}{12}\)

\(=\dfrac{8}{12},\dfrac{6}{12}\)

\(=\dfrac{2}{3},\dfrac{1}{2}\)
