Solve each of the following equations by using the method of completing the square:
3x2 - x - 2 = 0
Given: 3x2 - x - 2 = 0
9x2 - 3x - 6 = 0 (multiplying both sides by 3)
9x2 - 3x = 6
(adding 
on both sides)
using a2 - 2ab + b2 = (a - b)2
(taking square root on both sides)
Hence the roots of equation are
