Answer:
The factors of 2x² + x - 1 is (2x - 1) and (x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given,
2x² + x - 1 = 0
ax² + bx + c = 0
where a = 2, b = 1, c = -1
By Splitting the middle term method,
Sum = b = 1
Product = a × c = -2
Thus, factors are 2 and -1
2x² + x - 1 = 0
2x² + 2x - x - 1 = 0
2x(x + 1) -1(x + 1) = 0
(2x - 1)(x + 1) = 0
Thus, the factors of 2x² + x - 1 is (2x - 1) and
(x + 1)
