Question:
If the sum of the roots of a quadratic equation is 3 and the product is 2, then the equation is:
A. x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0
B. x^2 + 3x + 2 = 0
C. x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0
D. x^2 + 3x - 2 = 0
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: Quadratic equation with sum S and product P: x^2 - Sx + P = 0.
Step 1: S = 3, P = 2. Equation: x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0.
Correct Answer: A
