Find the root of the equation 2x 2 - 3x - 2 0 - WAEC Mathematics 1998 Question

Find the root of the equation 2x\(^2\) - 3x - 2 = 0

A
x = -2 or 1/2
B
x = -2 or1
C
x = -2 or 2
D
x = -1 or 2
correct option: e

2x\(^2\) - 3x - 2 = 0

2x\(^2\) - 4x + x - 2 = 0

2x(x - 2) + 1(x - 2) = 0

(2x + 1)(x - 2) = 0

x = \(\frac{-1}{2}\) or x = 2
