Question:
Find the roots of the following quadratic equation:
$\frac{2}{5} x^{2}-x-\frac{3}{5}=0$
Solution:
It is given that:
$\frac{2}{5} x^{2}-x-\frac{3}{5}=0$
We have to find the roots of above equation.
$\frac{2}{5} x^{2}-x-\frac{3}{5}=0$
Multiplying both sides by 5
$2 x^{2}-5 x-3=20$
$2 x^{2}-6 x+x-3=0$
$2 x(x-3)+1(x-3)=0$
$(x-3)(2 x+1)=0$
$x=3, x=-\frac{1}{2}$
Therefore the roots of the equation are : $3,-\frac{1}{2}$
