Explanation Given: The quadratic equation 2 x 2 − x = 1 . Formula used: Shreedhracharaya formula x = − b ± b 2 − 4 a c 2 ( a ) . Calculation: Considering 2 x 2 − x = 1 . Subtracting 1 from both sides, gives us: 2 x 2 − x − 1 = 1 − 1 2 x 2 − x − 1 = 0 Comparing 2 x 2 − x = 1 with the standard quadratic equation a x 2 + b x + c = 0 gives, a = 2 , b = − 1 and c = − 1 . We use the quadratic formula x = − b ± b 2 − 4 a c 2 a to find out the roots of the provided equation
