What are the roots of the quadratic equation 2x² - 7x + 3 = 0?
Correct answer: B. 1/2 and 3
- A. 1 and 3
- B. 1/2 and 3
- C. −1/2 and 3
- D. 1/2 and −3
Explanation
The equation factors as (2x - 1)(x - 3) = 0. Therefore, x = 1/2 or x = 3; the negative options arise from sign errors during factoring.
