The roots of the equation 2x2 - 11x + 15 = 0 are :(a) \(3,\frac52\) (b) \(5,\frac32\)(c) \(-3,-\frac52\)(d) None of these

Answer»

(a)  3, \(\frac52\).

2x2 - 11x + 15 = 0

⇒ 2x2 - 6x - 5x + 15 = 0

⇒ 2x (x - 3) - 5(x - 3) = 0

⇒ (x - 3)(2x - 5) = 0

⇒ x - 3 = 0 or 2x - 5 = 0 

⇒ x = 3, \(\frac52\).
