Question:
Solve the following quadratic equations by factorization:
$9 x^{2}-3 x-2=0$
Solution:
We have been given,
$9 x^{2}-3 x-2=0$
$9 x^{2}-6 x+3 x-2=0$
$3 x(3 x-2)+1(3 x-2)=0$
$(3 x+1)(3 x-2)=0$
Therefore,
$3 x+1=0$
$3 x=-1$
$x=\frac{-1}{3}$
or,
$3 x-2=0$
$3 x=2$
$x=\frac{2}{3}$
Hence, $x=\frac{-1}{3}$ or $x=\frac{2}{3}$.
