Answer

$12x^2+5x-2=0$

Work Step by Step

As we are given that solution set : {$-\dfrac{2}{3},\dfrac{1}{4}$} This implies that $x=-\dfrac{2}{3},\dfrac{1}{4}$ As per zero-product reverse property, we have $(3x+2)(4x-1)=0$ Now, apply FOIL METHOD $(3x+2)(4x-1)=0 \implies 12x^2-3x+8x-2=0$ or, $12x^2+5x-2=0$
