Question

Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions to the quadratic equation below 2x^2-5x+5=0

Answer 1

Answer:

x = (5 + i sqrt(15))/4 or x = (5 - i sqrt(15))/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

2 x^2 - 5 x + 5 = 0

Hint: | Using the quadratic formula, solve for x.

x = (5 ± sqrt((-5)^2 - 4×2×5))/(2×2) = (5 ± sqrt(25 - 40))/4 = (5 ± sqrt(-15))/4:

x = (5 + sqrt(-15))/4 or x = (5 - sqrt(-15))/4

Hint: | Express sqrt(-15) in terms of i.

sqrt(-15) = sqrt(-1) sqrt(15) = i sqrt(15):

Answer: x = (5 + i sqrt(15))/4 or x = (5 - i sqrt(15))/4
