Q.16 please<br> With steps
blsea [12.9K]

The equations

2x^2+9x-5=0

and

2\left(t-\dfrac12\right)^2+9\left(t-\dfrac12\right)-5=0

are really the same, we're just setting x=t-\dfrac12, or t=x+\dfrac12.

2x^2+9x-5=(2x-1)(x+5)=0\implies x=\dfrac12,x=-5

So we get

t=\dfrac12+\dfrac12=1,t=-5+\dfrac12=-\dfrac92
