Find the equation whose roots are 2 and (-3\frac{1}{2})

A
2x2 + 3x + 14 = 0
B
2x2 + 5x + 7 = 0
C
2x2 + 5x - 7 = 0
D
2x2 + 3x - 14 = 0
Ask EduPadi AI...
Correct Option: D

x2 (sum of roots)x + (product of roots) = 0
Sum of roots (2+-3\frac{1}{2} = -1\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{1}{2})
Product of roots (=2 \times -3\frac{1}{2}=-7<br /> x^2-\left(\frac{-3}{2}\right)x+(-7)=0\Rightarrow 2x^2 + 3x - 14 = 0)
