Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given a quadratic equation in standard form
ax² + bx + c = 0 , then the sum of the roots is
α + β = - [tex]\frac{b}{a}[/tex]
Here 2x² - x - 3 = 0 is in standard form
with a = 2 and b = - 1 , then
sum of roots = - [tex]\frac{-1}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
