\[\frac{3a² - 5a - 2}{a² - 4} = \frac{(a - 2)(3a + 1)}{(a - 2)(a + 2)} = \frac{3a + 1}{a + 2}\]
\[3a^{2} - 5a - 2 = 0\]
\[D = 25 + 24 = 49\]
\[a_{1} = \frac{5 + 7}{6} = \frac{12}{6} = 2;\ \ \ \]
\[a_{2} = \frac{5 - 7}{6} = - \frac{2}{6} = - \frac{1}{3}.\]
\[3a^{2} - 5a - 2 = 3 \cdot (a - 2)\left( a + \frac{1}{3} \right) =\]
\[= (a - 2)(3a + 1).\]
