Find the values of `m`for which the expression `2x^2+m x y+3y^2-5y-2`can be resolved into two rational linear factors.A. `+- 7`B. `+-5`C. `+-4`D. `+-1`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Comparing the given equation with `ax^(2) + 2hxy + by^(2) + 2gx + 2 fy + c = 0`, we have `a = 2, h = m//2, b = 3, c = - 2, f = - 5//2, g = 0`
The given expression is resolvable into linear factors, if `abc + 2 fgh - af^(2)-bg^(2) - ch^(2) = 0`
`rArr" "-12-(25)/(2) + 2((m^(2))/(4))= 0 rArr m^(2) = 49 rArr m = +- 7`
