______

/b2-4ac; b=3, a=-1, c=-2
What would the solution be?

b^2-4ac=9-8=1

X1=(-b-sqrt(1))/2a=(-3-1)/(-2)=2
X2=(-b+sqrt(1))/2a=(-3+1)/(-2)=1

To find the solution to the quadratic equation represented by the expression b^2 - 4ac, where b = 3, a = -1, and c = -2, we need to substitute these values into the expression and simplify it.

Substituting the given values, we have:
b^2 - 4ac = 3^2 - 4(-1)(-2)

Now, let's evaluate the expression step by step:

b^2 - 4ac = 9 - 4(-1)(-2)

Next, we simplify the double negatives:

b^2 - 4ac = 9 - 4(2)

Next, we perform the multiplication:

b^2 - 4ac = 9 - 8

Finally, we subtract:

b^2 - 4ac = 1

Therefore, the solution to the quadratic expression represented by b^2 - 4ac when b = 3, a = -1, and c = -2 is 1.
