elegantslayer ,i asked the lady earlier if it was;

3/(2m2- m - 4


of (3/2)m2 - m - 4...... correct

Had it been you told me it was the latter, it's very easy.

Multiply all through by 2

2 x (3/2)m2 - 2 x m - 2 x 4

3m2 - 2m - 8

That's a quadratic equation

It can be solved using Factorization, Completing the square or Almighty formula method.

So let us use the almighty formula because it gives the best result and the most trusted; even in real and complex answer.

-b ± √(b2 - 4ac) / 2a

a= 3, b = -2, c= -8

-(-2) ± √((-2)2 - (-1)(4x3x8))/ 2x3

2± √(4 + 96) / 6

2±√100 / 6

2±10 / 6

2+10 / 6 or 2-10 /6

12/6 or -8/6

m = 2 or -4/3

Make us understand the question. Is it

3 divides all through 2m^2 - m - 4 = 0or 3/2m^2 - m - 4 = 0

You can also tag Mrshape
pls I don't get u....just check how I wrote d equation down,its same way my cousin bro gave it to me...
@Mrshape,pls come to my rescue oo..

3 - 2m^2(m-4) = 0

3 - 2m^2 = 0 is wrong bro

3 - 2m^2(m-4) = 0

Yeah you're right ..that provided answer is wrong
the question is in quadratic form and must give two answers to m
which is m=-2 or m=4/3

I'm Sorry for the previous mistake.

Please note, this exercise is a modulation of a polynomial equation.

To solve this, we need to use cubic formula.


Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2m3+8m2−3=0
(Please study the cubic formula below and input the values).

Step 1: Use cubic formula.

m=−3.901454,−0.671286,0.57274
Answer:
m=−3.901454,−0.671286,0.57274

I am on the road and cannot grab a pen but let me use my phone to solve it.
The answer is m=-4/3 or m=2
Check the pictures atta he'd for a comprehensive solution.

The solution up is the correct one. Let us check.
Suppose m is 2 as solved,
(3/2)m²-m-4=0
(3/2)x2²-2-4=0
(3/2)x4-2-4=0
6-2-4=0
0=0
Hence,the solution is correct @elegantslayer.

Is it 3 divided by 2m raised to power 2-m-4?

The one I solved is correct.
It is a quadratic equation. So, you will have 2 answers for m. I only tested one of the answers to see if it is correct and it is. Both answers are corect.
The correct solution is m= - 4/3 or m=2.

You mean, how to write RAISED TO POWER?
Like m², x², f² etc?

It is quite easy.
There are two ways to do that.

You can use your phone keyboard on Android. When you press the numerical key button(123) and the numbers in your phone are in form of a grid, just long press on a number, it will take it to the power and it will be up as a superscript.

Method 2 is to use the tools on the Nairaland edit tab

Type a letter like X then press the (sup) button on the edit tab. Now, put the power in the middle of the SUP

E.g
If you want to write X³
You will type letter X then you press SUP.
Something like this will appear

X [sup][/sup]

Now, if you put 3 in the middle of the two SUP, by the type you submit, it will come out as X³.

I have attached some images for a better understanding.
Cheers!

Why didn't yhu solve with almighty formula... rather than using factorisation method?

Thats just 1 of 4 ways of solving it.
I can solve it in 4 different ways. Lol

And?

The person typed it with a phone. It means raised to power. X^2 means X raised to the power of 2 i.e X².

A newly discovered method last month. grin
You just pick the coefficient of x, span it in the middle and equate to the C term.
E. G
If you are to solve
X²-16x+48=0
16 is the coefficient of x.
Half of 16 is 8.

We just split this 8 into two parts and write
(8+u)(8-u)=48

U²=16
U= +/- 4

Just subatitute +/-4 into (8+u) and (8-u)
You will get 12 and 4 everytime.

Therefore,
X=4 or x =12 is the solution of the parent quadratic equation
This method was discovered worldwide few weeks ago. wink wink wink wink wink
