Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the sum of the roots of the equation 2x^2 - 3x + 1 = 0?
  • Step 1: Identify the coefficients in the quadratic equation 2x^2 - 3x + 1 = 0. Here, a = 2, b = -3, and c = 1.
  • Step 2: Use the formula for the sum of the roots of a quadratic equation, which is -b/a.
  • Step 3: Substitute the value of b (-3) and a (2) into the formula: -(-3)/2.
  • Step 4: Simplify the expression: 3/2.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the sum of the roots is 3/2.
