Recall

Quadratic factorisation and roots — objective 1

Maths4U Original · Short practice

Let \(P(x)=3 x^{2} + 11 x - 20\).

Find the positive solution of \(\displaystyle P(x)=0\).

Enter one exact number or fraction unless the question specifies rounding. If it asks for a coefficient of π, enter that coefficient only. Give full reasoning separately for written problems.
