✔ 最佳答案
Use the quadratic formula and sub in all of your values. Your answers should be 3.84 and -2.34

2x^2-3x-18 = 2{ x^2 - 3/2 x -9} =
=2{ (x^2 - 3/2 x) -9}
= 2{ (x^2 -3/ 2 x +9/16) - 9 -9/16}
= 2{ (x - 3/ 4)^2 -(sqrt 151/16)^2}
= 2 { x - 3/4 +sqrt(151)/4} { x - 3/4 - sqrt(151)/4} ....................Ans

You can always use the quadratic formula, with a=2; b=-3; and c=-18

= {3 +/- sqrt(153)} / 4

= (1/4)(3 +/- 3sqrt(17))


The two roots are:
= (3/4){1 + sqrt(17)}
= (3/4){1 - sqrt(17)}

the answer is non-factorable.

It doesn't factor using integers.

You can tell because b^2 - 4ac = (-3)^2 - 4(2)(-18) = 9 - (-144) = 153, which is not a perfect square.
