Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
set the equation equal to 0 and solve for x.
you get:
2x^2 - x = 0
factor out an x to get:
x * (2x - 1) = 0
x will be equal to 0 or x will be equal to 1/2.
evaluate the equation when x is less than 0.
you will find that 2x^2 - x is positive.
evaluate the equation when x is greater than 1/2.
you will find that 2x^2 - x is positive.
evaluate the equation when x is greater than 0 and less than 1/2.
you will find that 2x^2 - x is negative.
the expression os 2x^2 - x is less than 0 when x is greater than 0 and less than 1/2.
