1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the quadratic equation given the sum and product of its roots. The sum of the roots is 2-2 and the product of the roots is 32-\frac{3}{2}.

2. Solution Steps

A quadratic equation can be expressed in terms of the sum and product of its roots as follows:
x2(sum of roots)x+(product of roots)=0x^2 - (\text{sum of roots})x + (\text{product of roots}) = 0
We are given that the sum of the roots is 2-2 and the product of the roots is 32-\frac{3}{2}. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:
x2(2)x+(32)=0x^2 - (-2)x + (-\frac{3}{2}) = 0
x2+2x32=0x^2 + 2x - \frac{3}{2} = 0
To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply the entire equation by 2:
2(x2+2x32)=2(0)2(x^2 + 2x - \frac{3}{2}) = 2(0)
2x2+4x3=02x^2 + 4x - 3 = 0

3. Final Answer

The quadratic equation is 2x2+4x3=02x^2 + 4x - 3 = 0.
