Solve each quadratic. For A: 6x2+x−15=06x^2+x-15=0, discriminant =1+360=361=192= 1+360=361=19^2, so x=−1±1912x=\frac{-1\pm19}{12}, giving x=1812=32x=\frac{18}{12}=\frac{3}{2} or x=−2012=−53x=\frac{-20}{12}=-\frac{5}{3}. So A={32,−53}A=\left\{\frac{3}{2}, -\frac{5}{3}\right\}. For B: 2x2−5x−3=02x^2-5x-3=0 factors as (2x+1)(x−3)=0(2x+1)(x-3)=0, giving x=−12x=-\frac{1}{2} or x=3x=3. So B={−12,3}B=\left\{-\frac{1}{2}, 3\right\}. For C: 2x2−x−3=02x^2-x-3=0 factors as (2x−3)(x+1)=0(2x-3)(x+1)=0, giving x=32x=\frac{3}{2} or x=−1x=-1. So C={32,−1}C=\left\{\frac{3}{2}, -1\right\}. Taking the union of all elements that …
