Question
Solve the following quadratic equation by factorization.
2y2 + 27y + 13 = 0

Answer


$\begin{array}{l}
2 y^2+27 y+13=0 \\
\Rightarrow 2 y^2+26 y+y+13=0 \\
\Rightarrow 2 y(y+13)+(y+13)=0 \\
\Rightarrow(2 y+1)(y+13)=0 \\
2 y+1=0 \Rightarrow 2 y=-1 \Rightarrow y=-\frac{1}{2} \\
y+13=0 \Rightarrow y=-13
\end{array}$
Hence, ${ }^y=-13$ and $y=-\frac{1}{2}$ are roots of the equation.
