The graph is that of y = 2x2 - 5x - 3. For what value of x will y be negative? For what value of x will y be negative?

A
-\(\frac{1}{2} \leq x\) < 3
B
-\(\frac{1}{2} < x \leq 3\)
C
-\(\frac{1}{2} < x < 3\)
D
-\(\frac{1}{2} \leq x \leq 3\)

Correct Option: C

2x2 - 5x - 3 = 0

2x2 - 6x + x - 3 = 0

2x(x - 3) + 1(x - 3) = 0

(2x + 1)(x - 3) = 0

2x + 1 = 0

2x = -1

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

x - 3 = 0

-(\frac{1}{2}) < x < 3
