  1. 2m^2 + 13m + 20 = 0

    m = (- 13 +/- sqrt(13^2 - 4 * 2 * 20) ) / (2 * 2)

    = (- 13 +/- sqrt(169 - 160) ) / (2 * 2)

    = (- 13 +/- sqrt(9) ) / 4

    = (- 13 +/- 3 ) / 4

    = - 16 / 4 or - 10 / 4

    = - 4 or - 5 / 2.

    Solution by factorisation would be:

    (m - 4)(2m - 5) = 0

    m - 4 = 0 yielding m = 4

    or

    2m - 5 = 0 yielding m = 5 / 2.
