f(x)=2x²-3x
--------------
To solve for x, you find the values of x which make the function = 0
2x%5E2+-+3x+=+0
This one can be factored.
x*(2x-3) = 0
For the product to be 0, one of the factors must be zero.
So either x = 0 or (2x-3) = 0
x = 0 is one solution.
------------
2x-3 = 0
x = 3/2 is the other.
