Question
Solve the equation –x2 + x – 2 = 0
Solution
The given quadratic equation is –x2 + x – 2 = 0
On comparing the given equation with ax2 + bx + c = 0, we obtain
a = –1, b = 1, and c = –2
Therefore, the discriminant of the given equation is
D = b2 – 4ac = 12 – 4 × (–1) × (–2) = 1 – 8 = –7
Therefore, the required solutions are
