Rounded to the nearest hundredth, what is the positive solution to the quadratic equation 0 is equal to 2 x squared plus 3 x minus 8 ? Quadratic formula: x is equal to the fraction with numerator negative b plus or minus square root of b squared minus 4 A c end root and denominator 2 A

For 2x² + 3x − 8 = 0, use a = 2, b = 3, and c = −8 in the quadratic formula. The positive root is (−3 + √(3² − 4·2·(−8))) / (2·2) = (−3 + √73) / 4 ≈ 1.39. Therefore, the positive solution rounded to the nearest hundredth is choice B, 1.39.
